Fee Structure & Payments
SYMC’s program fees are on a sliding scale basis. This allows participants to pay according to individual means. There are four rates – Benefactor, Sustaining, Base and Pay-what-you-can – with some financial assistance available for those who cannot afford to pay.
Payment at the Base rate covers approximately 50% of what is needed to run our programs and centers. To wisely steward our resources, donations are needed to supplement our registration income in order to balance our budget.
The Sustaining rate represents the actual cost to SMYC to operate our programs. If you can afford this level or higher, you assist our efforts to offer lower sliding-scale rates and ongoing financial subsidies.
The Benefactor rate provides the opportunity to offer more substantial support for SMYC. Please be as generous as you can that will help pay it forward towards providing financial aid to those in need of such programs and retreats. To find out more, please contact us.
“We are offering a sliding scale to seek to mitigate a financial barrier that members of our greater community may experience.”
Ways To Give and Sewa (Service)
We try to keep our fees as affordable for as many people as possible and hence revenues from this stream covers less than half of our expenses. This means that we have to relay also on the generosity of our community to balance our budget and to operate our programs in a sustainable way.
Here are various ways you can help SMYC to do this:
With your donation, you join a community directly engaged in alleviating suffering and bringing greater wisdom and compassion to the world.
Your generosity touches many more beings than just those that participate in our programs and we are grateful and humbled by its tremendous potential impact.
Your generosity, in our ever-widening circle of giving, is what makes it possible for SMYC to offer our programs, including ancient teachings of mediation, mindfulness, yoga nidra and yog. Our in-person, online and retreat program fees cover less than half the cost to sustain our programs. Contributions from donors like you—who have experienced the benefits of mindfulness, meditation, yog nidra, and yog in their own lives – make up the other half of what’s needed
Will you make a generous gift today so that the path to equanimity and self -realization is available for all who seek it now and in the future?
