About Source Research Foundation
Source Research Foundation appears to focus its giving on educational initiatives, making two relatively large education-designated grants in Columbus, OH. The foundation concentrates support in a small number of sizable awards rather than many small gifts, and its grantee records are reported in aggregate or with limited public detail. This pattern suggests the foundation favors institutional or programmatic education funding (likely to schools, universities, or education-research projects) rather than broad community giving.

About Source Research Foundation
Source Research Foundation’s recent giving is concentrated in education-designated awards in Columbus, with two large grants reported in aggregate rather than to named public recipients. The pattern points to institutional or programmatic support rather than a long list of small gifts, and the foundation’s available grant records show that all reported grants went to recipients in Ohio. Its profile also includes active grant programs that reach beyond traditional education philanthropy: student research support, community grants, and travel grants tied to psychedelic-related work. Those programs are global in scope, while the filed grant history on file is local. The largest recent award on record was $135,172 in 2025, followed by a $76,139 grant in 2024. Both were marked educational and both were directed to Columbus organizations or accounts reported in aggregate. That combination of sizeable awards, limited public recipient detail, and education-labeled purposes defines the foundation’s visible pattern of giving. The foundation also funds individuals, which aligns with its student-oriented programs and travel support structure.
What Source Research Foundation Funds
Education is the clearest theme in the grant history on file. The two recent grants were both labeled educational, including a $135,172 award in 2025 and a $76,139 award in 2024, each reported for Columbus, OH in aggregate form. Beyond that broad category, the foundation’s active programs show more specific interests. The Student Grant Program supports students studying the epidemiology, phenomenology, and environmental, cultural, and clinical contexts of psychedelic use, including PhD, MS, and MD/PhD researchers. The Community Grant Program supports community organizations working in psychedelic-related programming, harm reduction, cultural preservation, survivor support, and related initiatives. A Travel Grant Program also supports students and community members traveling to present or participate at psychedelic-related conferences.
How Source Research Foundation Gives
The typical grant size is relatively high: the 25th percentile is $90,897, the median is $105,656, and the 75th percentile is $120,414. The recent grant record suggests a concentrated style of giving, with two large awards rather than a broad spread of small grants. The foundation funds individuals and also operates grant programs that explicitly support students and community members. The visible public record is limited, but the active programs show both unsolicited application pathways for the Student Grant Program and Community Grant Program, while the Travel Grant Program is not open to unsolicited applications.
