At Anarres, we are committed to including everyone who wants to participate regardless of how much they can pay.
How do we do this?
* We fundraise to subsidize spots when people can't pay the full fee (cost + labour + space + promotion). Please support the Co Immunity Fund when you can!
* We keep our wages low (minimum wage and work exchange) and offer honoraria instead of facilitator fees.
* We rely on word of mouth rather than focussing on paid advertising and marketing. We spend money on posters, handbills, postering, as words, social media boosting and NOW listings only.
* We offer a sliding scale, events by donation, mini-workshops for free, payment plans and materials + PWYC (Pay What Feels Right) introductory workshops.
