Who: Anyone who wants to help the legal availability and societal acceptance of guided therapeutic psychedelic experiences. We’d like to give grants to fast learning, determined, high integrity people. These grants are for individuals only, not organizations.

What: Get a $1,000 microgrant.

Why: It’s really hard to get non-profit funding without having an existing organizations. Once you have a developed organizations, it’s still hard to get donations, but it’s still easier compared to the earliest stages. So we’re trying this experiment to see if we can help seed more energetic, creative and determined people.
