Help Make Psilocybin Healing Accessible to All
Partner with us to help individuals in financial need access transformative healing experiences
Legal psilocybin experiences remain inaccessible for many due to financial, systemic, and social barriers. As a result, individuals who could greatly benefit from a carefully guided psychedelic experience are often unable to access it safely.
At Odyssey, we're committed to making this transformative experience accessible to as many people as possible. Partner with us today to help individuals facing financial barriers access a safe, science-backed experience.

Contribution Basis
Odyssey's Financial Aid Program operates on a contribution basis. You specify the amount you can comfortably contribute toward a psilocybin experience, and if selected, Odyssey’s Scholarship Fund will cover the remaining balance.
Please note that our financial aid resources are limited and in high demand. We ask that you approach this application with honesty and consideration for others who may also need support. Contributing as much as you can helps us extend assistance to more applicants.
Travel Expenses
Please consider your travel expenses when determining the amount you can contribute to your journey. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, recipients will be responsible for their travel costs to and from the airport or retreat location in Oregon. For private sessions, travel expenses include transportation and three nights of lodging near the session location.

Choose who to support
You can choose to contribute to the General Scholarship Fund or support a specific demographic, such as veterans or individuals struggling with prolonged grief.
Sponsor an individual or a retreat
If you'd like to sponsor an individual, you can request that your contribution cover their journey partially or in full, and receive anonymized updates about their progress. You can also choose to fully sponsor a retreat for eight individuals. If you have no preference, your gift will be directed to where it’s most needed.
Let Us Know Your Preferences
Whether it’s a one-time or recurring donation, your preferred payment method, contributing anonymously, dedicating your gift in someone’s honor, or any other request, we’re happy to accommodate your preferences. Simply let us know in the pledge form below!

Application
To apply for financial aid, please complete our application form, which will ask for details about your financial situation and motivations for wanting to participate. Please allow 20-25 minutes to complete this form.
Selection
Once submitted, please allow up to one month for us to review your application and provide you with a decision. Some applicants may be added to a waitlist to receive financial aid as funds become available. We assess applications based on both financial need and motivations for participating.
Verification
If your application is successful, we will need to verify your financial information and assess whether you're a suitable candidate for a psilocybin experience. To do this, we'll ask for your most recent Tax Summary and require you to fill out an Intake Form, which includes questions about your health and support network. Receiving financial aid and joining an Odyssey experience are contingent upon meeting the requirements of the intake and screening process.
