Ongoing Fundraiser

Are you able to support the fundraiser today?
The fund is to support –in particular – the participation of people with lived experience, their family members, students, and/or people living in developing countries.

We hope to raise enough funds to enable several people to take part in ISPS 2026 in Lausanne, who would not otherwise be able to do so for financial reasons.

Suggested donation:

$5 – $50 (according to your means)
Every little amount given to support the fund helps and is much appreciated

Please add the note “ISPS 2026” when donating

You can donate here

Thank you!
