Some Notes on Sliding Scale

At Wild Harmony Nature Connection, we are using a sliding scale to make a range of prices available for our programs. The purpose of the sliding scale is to both value our work based on what it actually costs to make this kind of high quality programming available while also providing access to those for whom the true value would make it otherwise inaccessible. 

• Care work & creative work is so often subsidized in our society. If that takes place, we believe it should be done explicitly.

• Our program costs are determined based on overall organizational needs and our yearly budget.

• Scholarships are available - that is, we are able to intentional subsidize our programs to some degree to make them available to folks for less than they actually cost to provide. This is in contrast to simply lowering prices.

Alexis J. Cunningfolk created the Green Bottle Method, an economic justice tool that enables people to adjust payment based on access to resources. We request that you use this method to help determine where on the sliding scale is most approrpriate for you and your family.

For ease of reading, here is the text from each of the bottles in the above graphic:

Top of the Scale (or the left bottle):

• I am comfortably able to meet all of my basic* needs

• I may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs

• I own my home or property OR I rent a higher-end property

• I own or lease a car

• I am employed or do not need to work to meet my needs

• I have regular access to health care

• I have access to financial savings

• I have an expendable** income

• I can always buy new items

• I can afford an annual vacation or take time off

Middle of the Scale (or the middle bottle):

• I may stress about meeting my basic needs but still regularly achieve them

• I may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs

• I own or lease a car

• I am employed

• I have access to health care

• I might have access to financial savings
