Reduced Fees
This "Green Bottle Model" is a sliding scale structure developed by Alexis Cunningfolk.
The following tiers can be used to help determine your degree of financial privilege.
I offer a limited number of reduced-fee services and give them in order of who asks.
If there are no available reduced-fee slots, you can join the waitlist!
*"Basic needs" includes food, housing, and transportation.
**"Expendable income" can mean regularly buying a coffee, going to the movies, and buying new clothes.
