Overview
Mission
CPSE works to inform public conversation and understanding about psychedelic substances, balancing the one-sided narrative and hype about their benefits with the evidence about risks, harms and safety issues. As these substances become more normalized in our culture, people need a more nuanced understanding and information to decide if psychedelics are right for them, or right for them right now, based on personal intention, contraindications, the risks and how to mitigate them. There is still much we just don? t know about these powerful, potent substances. That is fundamental for people to understand.
What it reported doing in 2024
2024 was our initial year, which we spent preparing the educational campaign called "before you trip".
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
