I based my sliding scale on the work of AORTA, an anti-oppression resource and training alliance. Use the questionnaire below to determine where you are on the scale. When we meet, we can discuss how this applies to the services you want to explore.

This sliding scale is dependent on your individual and organizational access to money and wealth. This sliding scale is an intentional effort to distribute resources equitably between organizations and organizers I work with.

All of our experiences regarding these factors are different and complex. This list of questions aims to help you do some self-assessment to consider what rate to pay:

Please take this short questionnaire to help determine your rate:

Are you and your family homeowners or landowners?
Have you attended private education institutions or do you have an advanced degree?
Are your bills or credit cards on autopay?
Have you not had difficulty accessing and affording healthcare or health insurance for you or your family members?
Do you have zero to no debt and/or do you have disposable income?
Do you have a safety net composed of “financially stable” or wealthy family and friends?
Do you have U.S. Citizenship?
Does your income only support you, and not other loved ones?
Have you or do you expect to inherit money or property?
Have you (or could you) have attended college and/or graduate school?

Sliding Scale Rates based on your answers to the questions:

If you answered almost all no → Solidarity rate
If you answered more no than yes → Sustain rate
If you answered more yes than no → Full Cost rate
If you answered almost all yes → Redistribution rate

If you have access to organizational support, please pay at the sustain rate and up.
