As the psychedelic movement rapidly grows within the mainstream sphere, many startups, biotech companies, for-profits, public benefits, and nonprofits are created. With this influx of projects looking for a space within the psychedelic ecosystem, it can be incredibly difficult for some organizations to gain the traction they need to achieve their goals, especially for those grassroots nonprofits looking to expand advocacy and education within the field.
What does the non-profit/grassroots movement in the psychedelic field look like now, and how has that changed over the years? Are there instances where non-profits/grassroots movements collaborate with the so-called emergent “psychedelic industry”? Is there room for the industry to support non-profits and grassroots movements, or are they at odds? How do you sustainably grow the community and minimize burnout?
