How many times have you heard I really want to work with you but I just can’t afford it?
Your work is in demand and you care about making it accessible.
Maybe you even offer sliding scale pricing or scholarship opportunities to make that happen. But the tension between what your audience is able to invest and what you know you need to earn has you wondering…
This is a live 3-hour workshop with Brooke Monaghan and Tristan Katz on designing offers, pricing, and business models that can hold your values, your capacity, and the realities of the people you serve.

Is it really possible to run a sustainable business without excluding people who you want to support?
If you start thinking strategically about your business model it is!
A sustainable business model requires you to to offer something people want at a rate they can actually pay while also keeping your business going.
If you want to work with people who have different levels of privilege and access, figuring out a more equitable and sustainable model is a requirement, not a choice.
And yes, it takes some creativity. But when you understand the basics of strategic business modeling and offer development, everything else can become a lot easier.
What we’ll cover:
⚡︎
Understand equity as a business design question
Not just a values statement, scholarship fund, or sliding scale.
⚡︎
Design offers for different types of clients
Including individuals, small businesses, organizations, and folks with different levels of financial access.
⚡︎
Map the relationship between pricing, capacity, and income
So you can make decisions based on reality, not guilt.
⚡︎
Communicate your pricing in a way that invites responsibility
So clients can make informed, values-aligned decisions.
⚡︎
Create an intentional offer ecosystem
With different access points, levels of support, and pathways into your work.
⚡︎
Make your work more accessible without forcing yourself to operate at scale
Because “accessible” should not mean “unsustainable.”
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You’re worried the wrong people might take advantage of your sliding scale and are overwhelmed by the logistics of vetting scholarship and sliding scale applicants
You’re filling your programs by offering scholarships or all of your clients are coming in at your lowest pricing tier and you’re being underpaid as a result
You’re wondering if you have to choose between making money and running an equitable business
You’re telling yourself it’s wrong to charge the rates that you know you need to charge to make it
You know equity is important, but have no idea how to put it into practice in your business
You have no idea what a business model or pricing strategy is

Sliding Scale Pricing
We use sliding scale pricing as a practice of shared responsibility.
Please choose the tier that reflects your current access to resources, financial privilege, and business capacity. Choosing a higher tier helps make lower-cost access possible for others. Choosing a lower tier is welcome and respected if that’s what is most accessible for you.
Sliding scale is imperfect. We are practicing trust, transparency, and collective care inside imperfect systems.
