Sliding Scale Policy
Access to thoughtful, justice-centered consulting and design work should be fair and accessible to everyone, while also honoring the time, care, and expertise I bring to each project.
To support both of these values, I offer a sliding scale payment option that allows you to choose a rate that fits your current financial situation. This helps create a more just and sustainable relationship between us.
Here’s how it works:
-
Base Rate: I set a fair rate that reflects the value of my work and experience.
-
Sliding Scale Tiers: You can select from several payment tiers based on what you’re able to contribute
I trust you to choose the tier that feels right for you, no proof or questions required. Your honesty and care help us keep Praxis sustainable and accessible for all.
If you’re interested in supporting others, there’s also an option to contribute above the full rate to help subsidize those who need it most.
Thank you for being part of a community that values care, equity, and mutual respect.
Here’s A step-by-step:
-
Free Consultation:
A no-cost initial meeting to understand the client’s needs, scope, and goals. This builds trust and helps clarify the project.
-
Project Pricing Estimate:
After the consultation, I'll provide a clear project cost estimate based on our fair base rate reflecting the scope and effort.
-
Sliding Scale Tiers:
Sliding scale options as percentages of that base estimate—for example:
-
Full Rate+ (over 100%)= For those with financial abundance who wish to contribute beyond the cost of their project to help subsidize others.
-
Full Rate = 100% of the estimate For those with stable financial resources.
-
Reduced Rate = 70–85% For clients experiencing moderate financial constraints.
-
Community Supported Rate = 40–65% For clients facing significant financial hardship
