Support Scholarships and Research into Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Help make psychedelic-assisted therapy accessible and shape the future of mental health care.
At Bendable, we believe psychedelic-assisted therapy is effective and should be affordable to everyone who needs it. We're committed to that mission in two ways: by providing scholarships for clients who couldn't otherwise afford services, and by conducting the research that improves how this care is delivered.
Your gift supports both
Fund Scholarships and Research Studies
Every dollar you give directly funds scholarships for clients in need and the research that improves how psychedelic-assisted therapy is delivered. Donations of any size help expand access to transformative care — every gift adds up to real impact.
Where your gift goes
Bendable's scholarship program ensures that cost is never the barrier between someone and care that could change their life. Since opening, we've awarded more than $300,000 in financial aid to clients facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and other treatment-resistant mental health concerns. Many of our scholarship recipients are people who would never have been able to afford this care otherwise — and for whom, by every measure we've collected, this work has made a real difference.
Donations also fund Bendable's research program, which is producing the first systematic evidence on the safety and effectiveness of legal psilocybin services in the United States. This research informs how we deliver care, shapes policy as more states consider regulated psilocybin programs, and contributes to a growing body of evidence the broader field can build on.
Why every gift matters
Bendable is small, mission-driven, and operates lean. Every dollar — whether $10, $100 or $10,000 — goes directly into the scholarship fund, into research, or into the operational infrastructure that makes both possible. Your contribution joins a community of supporters helping us prove that psychedelic-assisted therapy can be delivered safely, effectively, and equitably.
Bendable Therapy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible.
Direct Your Impact
For those who want their contribution focused on a specific community or mental health concern, Bendable offers two paths to direct impact.
Sponsor a Cohort
Fund the full Bendable program for a group of clients facing a specific mental health concern — PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, chronic pain, or others. Each client receives comprehensive screening, preparation, a supervised psilocybin session, and integration support. Your gift translates directly into care for a defined community, with progress and outcomes shared back with you throughout the program.
Fund a Research Study
Bendable produced the first systematic evidence on legal psilocybin therapy in the United States. Larger contributions can fully fund a new investigation — from study design through publication — in a clinical area you want to advance. A funded study includes care for the participant cohort and produces lasting evidence for the field, with recent work spanning Oregon's regulated framework and the first IRB-approved study of psilocybin for chronic pain.
In each case, your contribution becomes a partnership: involvement in community focus, regular update,
and named recognition, which together provide a clear line of sight from your gift to those it supports.
