Q: I see that there is a sliding scale for this retreat. What should I pay?
A: We encourage you to pay as much for the retreat as you feel comfortable paying. Even the high end of the sliding scale is an excellent price for 6 days of meals and high-quality workshops. Every bit of the money received goes toward making camp and other New Culture events happen, including providing scholarships for campers with financial need. Bottom line, we want you to feel good about the amount you contribute. We do have worksheets available to help think about this issue, if you would like!
Q: I would like to contribute additional money to this retreat. Is it tax-deductible?
A: Yes. This retreat is run by the Center for a New Culture, a non-profit corporation with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. If you would like to contribute to CFNC, please get in touch with us at info@cfnc.us.
Q: I can’t afford the low end of the sliding scale – is there scholarship or work exchange available?
A: Yes. We are committed to making camp financially accessible, within our constraints, and we have scholarship funds available. Work exchange is available before and after camp – the work is usually done in the Washington DC area, at our campground in West Virginia, and can sometimes be done in your home area as well. Please get in touch with us and let’s see if we can work out a win/win.
