April 2021 Giving Report: MAPS Raises Over $440,000 for Psychedelic Research and Education

In April 2021, we raised $444,973 in donations and pledges from over 1,300 supporters. Of this amount, $182,023 is for general support; $60,000 is for psychedelic elders projects, $85,113 is for psychedelic harm reduction and peer support, $75,120 is for health equity, $30,000 is for publishing; $12,466 is for MDMA-related projects; and $250 is for ibogaine research.

We extend a special thank you to our monthly donors who contributed a total of $26,826 in April. Your support is vital in making our programs sustainable.

We are honored to support a number of like-minded organizations by providing fiscal sponsorship so that contributions for their social benefit projects consistent with our mission may be tax-deductible as allowed by law. An additional $339,585 was raised by organizations that MAPS fiscally sponsors including Center for Consciousness Medicine ($250,000), CIT Clinics ($50,000), Auryn Project/North Star Project ($20,133), Instituto Phaneros ($10,000), Cosmic Sister ($5,000); The Psychedelic Therapist ($1,090), ICEERS ($1,040), Bluelight ($1,020), Psykia Institute ($890); From Shock To Awe ($100); Psychedelic Seminars ($100), Somatic Center Portland ($100), The Psychedelic Renaissance ($65), Empyrean Temple ($25), MAPS Canada ($20), and Kahpi ($2).

MAPS relies on the generosity of individual donors to achieve its mission. Psychedelic science is again being conducted under federal guidelines, but no funding for psychedelic therapy research is yet available from governments or major foundations. 

Together, we can legalize psychedelic medicine.
