How are you funded and what experts do you use as sources of information?
Q: I am a student doing a research paper and I need to know who you are funded by and also if you have any chemists or medical staff that you rely on as a source of information.



I hope that this reaches you before Wednesday Nov.15,2000.



Thank You,

Jennifer

A: Erowid is funded entirely through donations by private individuals. We have received a yearly grant from the Promind Foundation for the past few years, but otherwise are funded by donations and memberships by our readers. We operate on a shoe-string budget and in five years of operation have never covered the cost of a salary for even one full-time employee.



We regularly communicate with researchers, emergency medical professionals, doctors, professional chemists, therapists, lawyers, journalists, policy analysts and a variety of other experts in the field. Some of these are available for frequent consultation and others are contacted in specific circumstances or to answer specific questions.



I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.



peace,

fire
