Program Cost: Sliding scale $15 - $80
Lifespan Education is a ministry of Vancouver Unitarian. Program costs are budgeted for annually through the donations of members and program participants.
If a fee of any size is a barrier to your participation, please leave the amount blank and select "not at this time" in the credit card processing fee menu.
Sliding scale suggestions are designed to allow participants to choose the amount to pay for a course that is a meaningful commitment but not a hardship.
If you are unsure what a fair donation would be for you, check out this graphic and read a few words about sliding scale to think about:
“When I pay more, I know that I am helping others to access the event. When I pay in the middle, I know I am helping the organizers cover costs. And when I pay at the bottom, I know I am letting my community hold me and support me. All of these are wonderful and acceptable ways of participating.”
