Dear Zendo Community,

As our second year as a nonprofit comes to a close, we reflect on the profound impact we’ve made together. In 2024, we brought compassionate psychedelic care and education to more communities and audiences than ever before– we trained over 1,500 people, provided more than 400 scholarships, and cared for over 500 guests! We’ve been able to do this because community members like you have placed your trust in us. Thank you.

Meanwhile, there is still so much work to be done. There remains a huge need for quality, psychedelic care and harm reduction education. And there is also a growing, collective need for connection and understanding as our planet faces an increasing number of challenges. Making an impact when the world's problems seem insurmountable can feel impossible, but even simple acts of care can build a bridge to a more compassionate world. In learning to support one another, I know we can make a difference, which is why I’m asking you to join me in making a gift to support Zendo Project’s Year-End Giving Campaign.

We’ve set an ambitious goal of **$150,000**, which will allow us to further expand our training and provide compassionate care at more events next year and beyond. **With your support we will:**

- Expand psychedelic care to more mainstream events
- Launch a pilot training tailored for county-based crisis response teams in California 
- Expand our [Zendo SIT Course](https://zendoproject.org/sit/) to reach more students, providing valuable skills for supporting people navigating difficult psychedelic or complex emotional experiences   
- Offer more scholarships to students, ensuring our training remains accessible 
- Publish educational materials to promote safer psychedelic practices, harm reduction principles, and practical considerations for engaging with psychedelic facilitators 

Everyone, at some point, will be called on to support a loved one, friend, or stranger during a time of crisis or upheaval. Together, we can ensure that communities are more knowledgeable and resourced to care for one another. Your generosity will help make our education programming even more accessible, so the skills we teach are available to all who seek them.

**Here’s how you can help:**

Warmly,

Chelsea Rose

2024 End of The Year Fundraising Campaign

Creating communities of compassionate care to transform difficult psychedelic experiences into opportunities for learning & growth

Psychedelic substances have the potential to facilitate profound personal insights and emotional healing. However, they can also elicit overwhelming psychological distress. To navigate these complexities, it’s essential that communities are equipped to provide compassionate and culturally attuned care for supporting people in non-ordinary states of consciousness. 


The Zendo Project provides peer-based compassionate care at events and offers educational resources to communities and organizations. We support individuals in navigating complex psychedelic experiences, emotions, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness, reducing potential harms and fostering opportunities for deeper connection to self and others.

Donors like you are at the heart of our mission. As psychedelic use continues to rise, the need for harm reduction services and accessible education becomes increasingly critical. These efforts reduce interactions with law enforcement and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Each gift brings us closer to ensuring that psychedelic experiences and other non-ordinary states are met with informed and empathic care. By contributing, you help ensure that no one has to face these profound states alone. Together, we can foster environments where all people can receive trauma-informed and non-judgmental support during difficult times.
