Whether you choose to embrace the freedom of unrestricted giving through The Naropa Fund, provide life-changing need-based scholarships to deserving students, or leave a lasting impact with an endowed or planned gift, your participation is the key.
Our commitment to growth extends beyond the physical boundaries of our campuses. We’ve welcomed new online and low-residency programs that open doors for nontraditional and adult learners. With this expansion, we’re breaking down barriers and eliminating the need to move to Boulder, ensuring that nothing stands in the way of students uncovering their gifts and discovering their personal mission.

EXPLORE A RANGE OF FUND OPTIONS
Center for Psychedelic Studies
The Center for Psychedelic Studies was established to support the development and integration of psychedelic studies at Naropa University and to offer a range of public education opportunities focused on the unprecedented transformative healing potential within this emerging field.
Summer Writing Program Fund
The Summer Writing Program (SWP) is the birthplace of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, founded in 1974 by the late Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. The tradition of the “Outrider” or left-hand lineage operates outside the corporate cultural mainstream—a heritage of powerful scholarship and counter-poetics.
