SLIDING SCALE PRICING EXPLAINED
As a 501(c)3 environmental non-profit education center we are deeply committed to the work that we do! For decades, our stewards, staff and teachers have worked well below market rate and volunteered countless hours of community service, including organizing and hosting our education courses, to further our vision and mission of bringing us all into deeper relationship with one another and the more-than-human world. We our honored to support those with limited financial resources in accessing the unique community and educational opportunities we offer here at Lost Valley. As the economy shifts and our expenses increase, we are hopeful that those who have the means will help move our non-profit to a place of greater economic abundance, so we can meet our most basic needs and continue to invest in the upkeep of critical infrastructure and accessible education for our greater community.
Community Supported:
The lowest tier pays for use of our spaces, but does not compensate the work that we are doing at the value of our labor to sustain staff and the organization. This rate is meant to allow accessibility for those that are low income.
Community Sustained:
This tier pays for use of our spaces, and fairly compensates our hospitality staff and visitor coordinator at our hourly wages for the work we are doing to accommodate guests and visitors.
Community Regenerative:
This tier is a generous gift to the organization that covers the use of our spaces, staff compensation and additional funds to support the work that we are doing to allow us to continue the vision and mission of Lost Valley.
