Note on tax receipts: The Biophilic Anchor Foundation is currently in the process of applying for CRA charitable status. Until it is granted, donations are processed through Ko-fi and do not receive a tax receipt. Once charitable status is granted, all donations will receive a receipt retroactively where possible.

Every Gift Funds a Real Jar. A Real Stone. A Real Person.

Support the mission today. Whether you give $10 or $10,000, you are helping someone regulate their nervous system through living systems.
