Roots Up is currently in our launch stage with trainings and consultations. Rates and payment policies are subject to change, particularly during this period.
PLEASE NOTE: Roots Up currently has no consistent funding and we are often working uncompensated as we build our organization and community. We ask that you consider this when determining your level of support.
Consultations & 1:1 Supports for people NOT attached to an organization or employer: During this period, we will offer one free session to any individual or family seeking 1:1 support or consultation separate from an organization. Individuals who have the financial means to do so can elect to skip the free session and go right to paying on the sliding scale to help support others who are unable to pay.
The sliding scale for 1:1 support or consultations during this launch phase is $20 to $100 for up to one hour of time. Individuals who have the financial means to do so can also elect to leave a ‘tip’ with their payment to offer additional support and appreciation to your consultant and Roots Up.
You can self-determine where you fall on the sliding scale, but generally if you are on a limited/fixed income – particularly if you have children, significant medical expenses, are living paycheck to paycheck, etc. – we would recommend the bottom end of the scale. On the other hand, if you have money in savings, generally don’t have to worry about money and are past the point of living paycheck to paycheck, we would encourage you to consider the top end of the scale.
Consultations & Supports for people or groups whose employers will be paying: During this period, we will offer one session at $50 to any individual or group seeking support or consultation within the context of their work or organization. Groups or organizations who have the financial means to do so can elect to skip the $50 session and go right to paying on the sliding scale to help support others who are unable to pay.
The sliding scale for support or consultation for an individual or group meeting with us within the context of their work or organizational role is $75 to $150 per hour. A ‘tip’ can be added to any payment if the group or organization wants to offer additional support and appreciation to their consultant and Roots Up.
You can self-determine where you fall on the sliding scale, but generally if you are a part of a small group that is newly formed or has very limited funding, we would recommend the bottom end of the scale. On the other hand, if you have an established training and consultation budget, are a corporation with consistent funding or similar, we would recommend the top end of the scale.
Training: During this period, we will offer trainings ranging from $200 to $275 per hour. There will be a three-hour minimum for payments, even if the actual training session is shorter. Any training that is 6-hours or more will be considered a ‘full day’ of training for billing purposes and will be $1600 to $2,200 depending on where you fall on the scale.
In person trainings will have additional costs including transportation (mileage, parking, tolls, airfare or similar), lodging (generally one hotel room per trainer for a two-person training team or an Airbnb-style lodging with individual bedrooms) and a daily food stipend ($50 per trainer for travel days and $75 per trainer for training days).
We will consider lower rates for groups or organizations that truly do not have the means to pay within the current scale, provided we can work out an arrangement that does not result in loss of funds on our end.
