To create an equitable society, those of us who have benefited from privilege must give away their money, labour, and other resources to marginalized folks, while learning what it means to be part of a community, engage in cultural accountability, divest from capitalistic, colonial and -ism based systems.
We mainly provide support to genderqueer People Of Culture through grant funding. We also receive community donations and business sponsorships. Although we have a core demographic we do our best to support anyone who requests our aide. By participating in our Equitable Energy Exchange policy you are celebrating our community and allowing financial accessibility of our services, and for our staff to receive living wages for our labour.
Our four energy exchange types:
The form of exchange you engage in is based on you and your access to privilege. Use our privilege check list near the bottom to assess your access to privilege.
Free
We receive foundation funding in the form of grants that pay for wellness services for genderqueer People Of Culture. If this is your identity, you receive all our programs, offerings and services FOR FREE! We do ask that folks who receive free services or engage with our platform fill out our Feedback Survey which supports us in obtaining future grants.
Birth at home or at the clinic birthing suite is covered by New Mexico Medicaid and Centennial Care, at no-cost which includes prenatal, birth, and postpartum care through 6 weeks.
Pay what you can
For genderqueer, differently abled and/or People Of Culture who have access to financial resources, we offer a pay what you can option. Based on your income and budget choose an amount that will allow you to receive offerings and services with ease and the ability to pay all your other basic necessities.
Trade/Exchange what you can
We welcome any participant to exchange what they have; be it a talent, item, resource, or service. Can be given in-person or shipped. This can include 1:1 trades (you receive an hour of someone’s time and offer an hour of your time); or by using time credits through Hour World.
We are open to all kinds of resources, some ideas include:
~ water filtration ~ hygiene ~ land trusts ~ community spaces ~ herbal medicine
~ wild foraging ~ land stewardship ~ spirituality ~ rest ~ play ~ Heritage Seeds
~ returning to our native lands ~ therapy ~ cultural practices ~ Ancestral teachings
~ traditional lifeways ~ health care treatments ~ housing ~ whole foods ~ computer
This was a very great opportunity. I got to explore my mixed media collage skills for visual designs while promoting a nature-loving, genderqueer supporting organization.
