PSFC Community Values

As a philanthropic community committed to enabling access to psychedelic healing for all who can benefit, we are guided by a shared set of values that reflect how we show up in the world — as individuals, as a collective, and in relationship with the broader field. These values are principles we believe in and practices we strive to embody.


 

1. Integrity & Trust

We commit to acting with honesty, fairness, and moral clarity in all aspects of our work. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical standards and recognize that our decisions carry real impact on people and communities. We build trust through open transparent communication, clarity of purpose, and consistent follow-through.

 
 

2. Community & Collaboration

We believe in the power of collective effort. As a community of funders, we foster open dialogue, mutual learning, and shared leadership — working together to achieve more than we could alone. We recognize the strength of our collective relationships. We actively cultivate connections across the field to encourage innovation, collaboration, and field-wide momentum.

 
 

3. Mission, Philanthropy and Impact

We are united by a shared mission to advance healing through psychedelics. Our philanthropic efforts are strategic, purposeful, and impact-driven — focused on real outcomes for real people. We approach giving with humility and care, recognizing that our resources are tools for transformation. As stewards of capital, we give with long-term vision and a deep sense of responsibility.

 
 

4. Safety & Scientific Integrity

We prioritize the well-being of individuals and communities by supporting approaches that minimize risk, promote informed choices, and center care. Safety is essential to ethical engagement in the psychedelic field.

We value rigorous, evidence-based research as a cornerstone of the field’s credibility and evolution. We support science that is objective, inclusive, and grounded in truth-seeking.

 
 

5. Compassion, Cultural Respect, and Inclusion

We lead with heart. Compassion and kindness guide how we engage — with one another, with grantees, and with the communities we aim to serve. Healing begins with how we treat people.

We honor the diverse cultural and Indigenous traditions that have long held psychedelic knowledge. We are committed to equity, inclusion, and supporting a field where all voices are valued and respected.
