Strengthening our foundation. Connecting our community. Moving our mission forward.
The BPSI Sustaining Circle honors donors whose cumulative annual giving of $1,000 or more provides the steady, vital support needed to advance BPSI's mission and supporting its ongoing operations.
The Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (BPSI) is dedicated to advancing psychoanalytic thought and practice in today’s complex and diverse world. Through excellence in education, scholarship, clinical practice, and the use of psychoanalytic knowledge for the public good, we work to reduce suffering and enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
For close to a century, BPSI has stood as a nationally respected institution where rigorous training, vibrant scholarship, and community engagement come together. The steadfast generosity of our Sustaining Circle members ensures that psychoanalytic thought continues to grow and reach new audiences. Each gift honors the legacy of those who came before while propelling BPSI forward for generations to come.
With your support, BPSI ensures that psychoanalysis will continue to inspire new ideas, enrich lives, and strengthen the fabric of our communities.

Membership Information
The BPSI Sustaining Circle is a group of dedicated supporters who are strengthening the core of our work. Sustaining Circle membership honors individuals whose annual giving totals $1,000 or more. Gifts may be made in a single contribution or through multiple donations throughout the year, with membership renewed annually based on that year’s giving. All cash gifts, pledges fulfilled within the fiscal year, donations from donor-advised funds (DAFs), qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), and appreciated securities count toward the annual total.
As a Sustaining Circle member, you’ll enjoy invitations to Sustaining Circle gatherings where you can connect with fellow members and experience our gratitude.
