Heal Our Heroes
& Save Lives
Our Vision
We envision a world free of veterans’ and first responders’ suicide, where those in need can access safe, effective healing.
The Mission Within Foundation provides scholarships for U.S. veterans and first responders to attend psychedelic therapy retreats at legal, pre-vetted facilities.
We raise money to fund these life-changing scholarships and conduct research to help inform clinical practices, influence policy, and ensure broader access to safe and effective treatments.
The Mission Within Foundation is a non-partisan organization. We believe that good mental health is for all Americans.
Support Our Work
Your donations help remove the barriers between veterans in need and the healing they deserve—through funding, research, and policy change.
Your gift directly funds the medicine, the facilitators, the integration—and changes a life forever.
Two organizations that provide life-changing therapies to veterans and first responders.
The Mission Within Foundation and The Mission Within Center are separate organizations that share a common goal of healing veterans and first responders and a common Founder, Dr. Martín Polanco, M.D.
Dr. Polanco is a pioneer in the field of psychedelic-assisted treatments and founded the first medically supervised ibogaine clinic in North America. Realizing that many seeking treatment faced financial barriers to access, Dr. Polanco formed the Mission Within Foundation.
Today, the foundation raises funds to provide full and partial scholarships for treatment at one of our vetted partner providers.
