Where does my donation go?

The proceeds from SOURCE - It’s Within You support InnerScience Research Fund in funding research on the biological and physiological effects of meditation on the human body.

Currently, we are funding analysis of the data from groundbreaking research at Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditation retreats, led by a team of researchers from UC San Diego. It is their aim to document the science behind the body's innate ability to heal using the power of meditation and to publish their findings in esteemed, peer-reviewed journals.

In 2023, we committed $10 million in support of UC San Diego over the next 5 years, saw the publication of the first research paper, wrapped up production of our first documentary, and paid UC San Diego more than $2.8m. View our 2023 annual report here. 

In 2024, we presented UC San Diego with their next installment of $2 million, launched our first documentary in 16 languages to share with the world (proceeds from SOURCE - It's Within You go to InnerScience Research Fund), and approved research funding for three additional prestigious organizations that are also conducting studies on the effects of meditation on human health: HeartMath Institute, The Institute of Noetic Sciences, and DMT Quest. You can read more in our 2024 Annual Report.

In 2025, we gave UC San Diego $4.4 million, which included a supplemental $2.4 million, made possible through the generosity of our donor community.  We made SOURCE - It’s Within You accessible to people around the world on multiple platforms, and saw the publication of the second and third research papers. There are more studies in various stages of research and publication, so we invite you to stay tuned!
