We try our best to make our programs accessible and affordable. Below each tier, you will find an hourly rate that breaks down our costs per live training hour. In addition to 37.5 live training hours, participants also receive weekly video teachings, guided meditations and other practices, workbooks, handouts, background resources and facilitator check-ins. Our core facilitation team also handles all aspects of program administration.

We offer a sliding scale registration fee for our courses and workshops in service of racial and economic justice.

We understand that access to resources is a result of institutionalized white supremacy, capitalism and colonization. A sliding scale fee structure allows white folks and others who have systematically benefited from these unjust and inequitable systems to practice reparations within our community.

We also know that privilege is intersectional and that not all white folks have access to generational wealth or class privilege. We ask that you take your privilege and access to resources into account when determining your registration fee. 

Sponsor: $1350

Sustainer (Full Tuition): $900

We ask white folks and those with class privilege (eg raised in middle-upper class homes and/or making over $62,000 per year), access to financial resources and/or access to organizational professional development funds to please consider paying the full course fee. We also ask all white-bodied participants being sponsored by organizations to attend pay the full course fee. 

Solidarity Rate: $450

We invite folks with less class privilege, financial hardship and/or those representing historically marginalized identities for whom the full tuition rate is not possible, to register at our subsidized solidarity rate. 

Financial Assistance Available

We are committed to ensuring that our programs are accessible to all. We understand the challenges of doing this work in a deeply unjust racial-capitalist system.

Courage of Care facilitators and operations are compensated primarily through program registrations. We do not receive external funding or grants. While we try to raise funds to support our sliding scale offerings and scholarships, we do not have a sustainable scholarship fund. The discounted rates that we offer are often also a discount on the pay that our facilitators receive. 

Reciprocity is one of our core community practices and we invite you to determine what financial contribution you are able to make to the program. While we do not offer full tuition coverage, we are open to specific tuition reduction requests as well as work exchanges for partial tuition relief. We can accept proposals for payment plans provided they are completed during the term of the program. 

We also ask that you consider the following guidelines when requesting additional support:

• • You are experiencing unemployment or houselessness, and/or

  • Your paycheck barely covers or does not cover your basic needs of food, shelter, water, clothing, medical care, social engagement and rest for you and your family, AND

  • You do not have access to organizational professional development funds, sponsorship, savings or other forms of financial support to cover the cost of the training.
