Sliding Scale

Incorporating the wisdom of Alexis J Cunningfolk and her own words as guidance, consider the following as you determine which tier you may find yourself in at this point in your life:

Tier 3

$200-250
This tier reflects the full cost of services. If you have access to financial security, own assets or have personal savings, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services. If you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worried about securing necessities in your life, you have economic privilege and power in our community. This price is likely for you.

Tier 2​

$100-200
This tier reflects how paying the full cost would prevent some people from being able to attend, but who do not honestly find themselves reflected in either descriptions for Tier 3 or Tier 1. If you are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income and are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc., you belong here. If you, however, can ask loved ones for financial support, please consider using those personal resources.

Tier 1​

$0-100
This tier reflects an honest acknowledgment that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being able to access services if there was not a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities. If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, you likely belong here.

Utilizing the Green Bottle Method helps increase access to services. It is an honest, integrity-based offering for those who need it. You are deserving of services and support as much as those who pay the full fee.
