Fundraising Priorities

By giving to CIIS’ scholarship fund, you ensure that economic circumstances will not deter promising students from receiving a transformative CIIS education. Generous scholarship funding allows CIIS to cultivate a diverse community of learners.

The CIIS @ 60 Endowment Campaign allows us to keep a promise to our students, donors, and alumni—that CIIS will remain a beacon for transformative integral education, far into the future. Help us reach $60 million by our 60th birthday, in 2028.

The Center for Black and Indigenous Praxis (CBIP) is expanding the visibility, diversity, and range of scholarship that supports culturally centered knowledge, optimal wellness, and equity. Support CBIP, where academic rigor meets ancestral wisdom for the healing and resilience of communities—in mental healthcare and beyond.

The Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research is training practitioners to meet the needs of diverse patients who can benefit from life-changing psychedelic medicines. Your gift to the CPTR Scholarship Fund ensures that people of color, LGBTQ+, veterans, and low-income professionals have access to our cutting-edge certificate program.

For more than fifty years, CIIS’ Counseling Clinics have played a critical role in the Bay Area’s mental health safety net by providing sliding-scale therapy to individuals and families who could not otherwise afford it. Your support ensures the highest quality clinical training for our student therapists.
