What Shefa Jewish Psychedelic Support does
Mission
We bring together jewish people in the community to deepen their connection to their traditions and religious practices.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
We added this program: the idra project the idra project is a retreat-based program designed to support jewish leaders experiencing burnout, low resilience, and the cumulative pressures of sustained communal service.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
In person program (shuva returning to ourselves) physician-supported, trauma-informed, and jewishly-rooted small group day-long ketamine retreats, with in-depth preparation and integration support. The jewish path doggedly asserts that no matter how far we have gotten away from ourselves, our own authenticity, our values and commitments, or our physical and spiritual health and well-being, the road to return is eagerly waiting for us. This powerful, ongoing practice of self-recovery, sometimes referred to as teshuvah, is available in every new step we take. As one jewish mystical master teaches, teshuva-return is the cosmic rhythm of the universe. Especially in this moment of increased tensions and pressure within individual and collective jewish consciousness, we need much more time and space to make this journey back home.

Our resources are printed and digital holiday companions bridging and exploring jewish themes about consciousness. Music, articles, essays, books, and journals to be compiled, written, published on our website, and available for purchase. We are creating religious texts for jewish people who wish to know more about their mystical traditions.
$37,306 spent$8,429 earned by the program15% of program spendingThe idra project is a retreat-based program designed to support jewish leaders experiencing burnout, low resilience, and the cumulative pressures of sustained communal service. Through multi-day, cohort-based retreats, participants are given structured time away from their professional responsibilities to rest, reflect, and reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose, meaning, and personal grounding. The program provides space for participants to process their experiences, strengthen emotional and spiritual resilience, and re-engage their leadership in a more sustainable way. The idra project is intentionally designed as a confidential and covenantal container that fosters trust, depth, and mutual care, supporting values-aligned and sustainable leadership over time.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $84k to $157k (+87%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
89% of SHEFA JEWISH PSYCHEDELIC SUPPORT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of SHEFA JEWISH PSYCHEDELIC SUPPORT’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund SHEFA JEWISH PSYCHEDELIC SUPPORT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
