Sliding Scale
-
Wealth Redistributor
(Unlimited spots) Consider paying at this level if one or more of the following apply: You are comfortably able to meet your basic needs, own a newer car and/or home or rent a higher end property, have access to financial savings, have reliable work or do not need to work to meet your needs, have investments, can afford to travel every year, have expendable income.
-
Pay it Forward
(Unlimited spots) Please note: This is the true cost of the service, and the rate I need most people to choose to cover my expenses and pay myself a living wage. If you choose a rate below this level, you are receiving a discount. If you choose the rate above this level, you are helping support the participation of lower income folks. Consider paying at this level if one or more of the following apply: You sometimes stress about meeting basic needs but still regularly achieve them, are able to buy some new items and thrift others, can travel every couple/few years without burden, have some debt but it does not prevent access to basic needs/wants.
-
Sustainer
(Limited spots) Consider paying at this level if one or more of the following apply: You have very limited expendable income, are unemployed or have unstable employment but are still able to meet basic needs, have little to no access to savings or financial support from family, have higher debt that requires some sacrifices on needs/wants.
-
Pay What You Can
(Limited spots) Limited pay what you can spots are available for our services for folks who would not otherwise be able to participate. Priority is given to people who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color, trans women and trans femmes, folks raised working class or poor, and people with disabilities. Please consider this option only if you struggle to meet your basic needs and paying would be a significant hardship.
