Sliding Scale Breakdown

I invite you to use these guidelines to determine your rate based on your circumstances. The criteria below follow Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s, The Green Bottle Method, a tool for economic justice.

Those paying full rates help make services accessible to others at reduced rates. Limited spots are available at reduced rates. Rates are honor-based and can be adjusted if your situation changes.

  • Consider paying the full rate if you:

    • Meet all basic needs (food, housing, transportation)

    • Own property or rent premium housing

    • Own or lease a car

    • Work by choice rather than necessity

    • Access healthcare regularly

    • Access financial resources easily

    • Spend on non-essentials (dining out, entertainment, new clothes)

  • Consider paying mid-rates if you:

    • Meet basic needs but with some stress

    • Manage debt while maintaining essentials

    • Own or lease a car

    • Maintain steady employment

    • Access basic healthcare

    • Build some savings

    • Spend occasionally on non-essentials (dining out, entertainment)

    • Take modest vacations without significant strain

  • Please consider paying the base rates if you are:

    • Frequently stressed about meeting basic needs

    • Managing debt that impacts essential needs

    • Living in lower-cost housing or facing housing instability

    • Limited in transportation options or unable to afford gas

    • Unemployed or underemployed
