Sliding Scale Pricing
We understand the many systemic reasons some organizations have access to more resources than others. To acknowledge this, we offer our services at a sliding scale. If you aren’t sure you can afford our services, reach out anyway–let’s talk. If your budget allows you to pay more, that will allow us to stay affordable for those without that budget, or those systematic advantages.
Budget Levels
To align our services with our values, we offer our services on a sliding scale. We hope you will support us by paying at a rate that is fair, either based on your annual budget, or the budget you have allotted to your data/database work.
Grow $150/hr
Annual Budget is less than $600,000.
The intent is to support newer and under-resourced organizations to have access to high quality data supports.
Sustain $175/hr
Annual budget is between $600,000 and $2 Million.
This rate should be paid by more established organizations as much as possible to keep our sliding scale possible.
Share $200/hr
Annual budget is more than $2 Million.
The intent is to enable us to provide lower rates to under-resourced organizations by paying a higher hourly rate.
Estimating Potential Costs
Note that pricing/timing may vary based on the size of your organization and the complexity of the work. These are rough estimates, based on average projects in our experience. Note: This is a highlight of some of our most popular services.
