Why implement a sliding scale model?
Our goal is to do our best to ensure finances are not a barrier to anyone interested to sign up for learning opportunities with Equal Dreams.
We hope that those with more access to wealth, and are more financially privileged, can subsidise the programme costs for those who are financially marginalised, and have less access to wealth.
We understand that inequality happens all over the world, because of the way our systems are designed. We also recognise the need to address financial accessibility more in the field of disability accessibility. As such, we invite those with more financial privilege to pay the higher rates (General or Supporter), and contribute to addressing these inequalities; to give more from a place of solidarity, not charity.
For all programmes with the sliding scale model, we trust your judgement to select the tier that best fits your financial situation, no questions asked. We understand that the descriptors of each category may not fully reflect your situation, and ask that you please select the one that feels most relatable to your current circumstances.
Our rates also honour the time, intention and care that went into designing this programme. By signing up for this programme, you are also contributing to sustaining our small staff team in our ongoing work to deepen disability inclusion and accessibility.
