(Parent, Professional, Student, Caregiver, Wanderer something else)(Required)What drew you to this course? (Be as long or short as you want, we just want to know what you are hoping to learn or experience)(Required)This experience has a small fee (to compensate guests who join us and cover materials; the facilitator’s compensation is subsidized by a generous donor). Recognizing that we operate in a world of disparities, where the dominant economy is not always accessible to everyone, particularly those in the Global South and even some of us who reside in the Global North, this fee is offered using a tiered pricing to reduce the financial barriers to participation. I encourage you to explore the pricing options listed below and select the option that feels right and is feasible to you and your unique circumstances. Supported Participation (Tier 1) - $20 - Paying for this course is not possible for me because I am unable to reliably meet my basic needs for shelter, food, clothing, or life-saving medical care OR because I live and work in a region where our local currency does not give me any significant buying power in US dollars. Substantially Reduced Cost (Tier 2) - $66 - Paying for this course presents a financial hardship. I experience several of the lower tier conditions listed above or have other barriers to paying more that would otherwise cause me to miss out on this opportunity. Tier 2 is 33% of the true-cost contribution. Discounted Participation (Tier 3) - $150 - Paying full price might be tricky for me and add to my stress levels. I don’t really see myself in the lower or higher tier characteristics list. Cost has me on the fence about signing up. I might have to make small sacrifices to pay, but I won’t compromise my needs or experience real hardship. Tier 3 is 75% of true-cost contribution. True Cost Tuition (Tier 4) - $200 - I am able to cover the true costs of my participation. Paying this price may mean I forego something else I want to do or buy, but I can find the resources to cover the true cost without hardship. I recognize that it paying to my ability helps to sustain EcoGather. Tier 4 covers the true costs of participation. For me & a little bit more (Tier 5) - $266 - I am able to cover the true costs of my participation. Paying this price may mean I forego something else I want to do or buy, but I can find the resources to cover the true cost without hardship. I recognize that it paying to my ability helps to sustain EcoGather. Tier 4 covers the true costs of participation. For me & another (Tier 6) - $332 - I did not have to think twice about paying to participate. I have the ability and desire to redistribute resources and increase access for others. Indeed, I’d like to make sure someone without my financial advantages or other privileges can participate now or in the near future (166% of full tuition price). If the tiered pricing is still out of reach for you, I encourage you to respond to the following two questions, which would constitute a Fellowship Application.
