DOPE
Promoting love, safety, and connection within the music community — addressing substance use through grassroots programs and peer-led harm reduction.
What We Do
Harm Reduction
at Every Level
From festival floors to community workshops, we meet people where they are — with trained volunteers, life-saving supplies, and judgment-free conversation.
Event Volunteer Staffing
Trained harm reduction volunteers embedded at festivals and events — proactively supporting attendee wellness so medical and security teams can focus on the critical stuff.

“These are people, each with their own unique and meaningful lives.”
Deanna Dunne
Founder & Executive Director
Read Our StoryBeyond Dope was born in January of 2018 almost 2 years after founder Deanna Dunne lost her brother Michael to a drug overdose. What started as a single benefit concert became a national movement grounded in love, connection, and empowerment.
Today, Beyond Dope has chapters in the NYC and Denver, but we bring harm reduction to festivals, venues, and communities wherever music brings people together.
