Support

A field worth getting right.

BRAIN Foundation is funded by a mix of individual donors, institutional grants, and earned income from trainings. We publish our full funder list in every annual report. If you think this work matters, we'd be glad of your help.

Donations are processed by Stripe. BRAIN Foundation is registered in Nepal. Receipts are issued on every gift; Nepal-based donors receive a 80G-equivalent certificate for tax purposes.
