Your donation is tax deductible
Every contribution to What a Trip is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by U.S. law.
What a Trip is a fiscally sponsored project of Creative Visions Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Donations are processed by Creative Visions’ platform partner, Pledge.to, through the Pledge Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3). Your gift is received and receipted through the Pledge Foundation, so your emailed receipt and tax‑ID acknowledgment will come from them. The funds are then transferred to Creative Visions Foundation and, after platform and fiscal‑sponsorship fees, granted to What a Trip.
You can give by cash, ACH bank transfer, stock, donor-advised fund (DAF), crypto, or credit card. ACH transfers carry the lowest processing fees, so more of your gift goes straight to the film.
Right after you give, you’ll receive an emailed receipt to keep for your tax records. No goods or services are provided in exchange for your donation, except as otherwise noted for specific perks or rewards.
Please consult your tax advisor about your particular situation.

Rick Doblin isa once-in-a-generation historical figure. When I heard WHAT A TRIP had been documenting his journey, I knew I wanted to support it. The film is intimate, urgent, and strangely mythic. I’m proud to be part of bringing his story to the screen.
Rick and his non-profit MAPS helped make psychedelic therapy a bipartisan issue, removing it from the culture war, and overcoming decades of stigma that has delayed life-saving tools for millions in need. Beyond the transformative impact psychedelics are poised to have for mental health, this film offers a road map on how to change culture, against-all-odds.
PRODUCTION TIMELINE
We’ve been filming with Rick and MAPS for over 12 years (since 2014), capturing intimate and exclusive footage along their journey to legalize psychedelics - both the highs and the lows. After over a decade of dedicated filming, we are now raising funds to finish our film and bring Rick’s story to the screen. If fully funded, we estimate we can finish a rough cut by April of 2027, and then a final cut by November of 2027.
