The Etheridge Foundation assesses grants on a rolling basis, often with quarterly awards.

The size of our grants typically ranges from $10,000-$50,000, with occasional larger amounts.

We invite proposals for studies that meet all of the criteria below.

We are not currently able to consider grants to fund films, shows, or other media projects.

Grant eligibility requirements:

Our grants go to medical studies that:

1) use traditional plant medicines and/or psychedelic therapies

2) for the treatment or prevention of opioid use disorder (OUD)

Both of these components must be a substantive element of the study to be considered for a grant.

In addition, studies must:

• Be undertaken by nonprofit organizations without motivation of financial gain;

• Take place with human participants for ethical and relevant data; and

• Use integrative understandings of addiction that consider underlying causes and mental health issues.

At our discretion, we may occasionally award grants outside of the above criteria for novel projects that advance understanding of using plant medicines and/or psychedelic therapies for treatment of opioid use disorder.
