Open Up Non-Profit
Project Support
Thank you for your interest in supporting the mission of Open Up. The following are primary areas in which support is most vital:
Capital / Funding — The impact we are able to deliver over the lifetime of the project is in large part dependent upon the support and resources we have to work with. Our exceptional but small research team that collaborates with us can only take us so far. Our capital needs to be meaningfully expanded to deliver on the scope of the project’s ambition to scale and develop.
Beyond human labour, our expenses are minimal as we have no physical headquarters and do not pay for advertisement or distribution. We believe that both projects serve humanity and cultural change and needs to be supported as a public good. We will receive funding to support and expand our capacity and reach of our vision and work.
Connections to Capital — If you know people or foundations that might be interested in our projects and able to offer financial support, please introduce us.
We have successfully completed the first inner work program of 6 weeks with refugees in Uganda in Q1 of 2021. Help us further develop educational programs for inner innovation, and provide professional trainings for youth development, self-leadership and healing.
Support our breathwork research for a cultural movement in health, introducing breathing into psychotherapy. Help us reach our goals at the university level and help us build study cases within a growing team of research professionals and students.

We are also
looking for
Funding institutions – We have partnered with the VU (Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam), and the Hersencentrum Amsterdam for our Research project, and are seeking to collaborate and communicate with allied organizations, or non-profit institutions to inform and support this field of exploration and possibilities.
Advisors — We are seeking advisors with deep expertise and integrity on scaling non-profit projects that focus on social and cultural change and who can offer diverse and novel insights and perspectives, also through the lens of non-western countries.
Pro Bono Services — Donations to our projects come in form of services as well that are extremely helpful for the development of both projects. These could include: social media, marketing and creation (infographics, audio, video, animations), legal, accounting, recruiting, distribution and PR etc.. If you are aligned with the project and have a service that might be relevant, please reach out.
Our aim is to build a source of credibility and opportunity for what is possible in exploring new understandings of human healing potential and sustainable global change. The projects are in service of that.
We won’t accept donations that seek to influence the nature of the projects in any way.
