Our Sliding Scale Options:
We offer three payment options: Recommended, Reduced and Restorative. Our Recommended option reflects what it takes to cover costs. The Reduced option is for community members who would not be able to attend events without an affordable option, while the Restorative option covers costs and supports greater event access.
Finding yourself on the sliding scale…
Consider paying lower on the scale if you:
Have significant debt, medical expenses, or educational expenses
Are supporting children or other dependents
Have immigration-related expenses
Have low or inconsistent income
Consider paying higher on the scale if you:
Own your home, have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
Travel recreationally, work part-time by choice, or have access to family money and resources
Have a relatively high degree of earning power due to your level of education, gender or racial privilege, and/or class background, even if you are not currently exercising your earning power
Sliding Scale Guidelines are taken directly from Nofa MASSS ; they were inspired by, and borrowed from Woven Roots Farm, Tyringham, MA and Rock Steady Farm, Millerton, NY.
