What is Sliding Scale?

Income should not be the determining factor for receiving resources, knowledge, spaces, community and rest.

Sliding scale is a tool that allows us to actively work towards economic justice. Through this model there are multiple access points for products and services, which is made more available for those who do not currently have access to funds.

For some of my offerings, sliding scale is offered on select products and events. As someone who also relies on this model, sliding scale has allowed me to receive valuable and life-changing resources I would have otherwise not have access to. I hope to be able to keep things that are valuable for my community as available as possible.

Curious on how you can use a sliding scale? Read more about sliding scale at Worts and Cunning Apothecary as well as in the figure below:
