More about our financial equity payment experiments.
In OpenEdge we experiment with different models for financial equity. We know that access to financial resource is affected by historic and ongoing global and systemic inequity. We also know that how this shows up in each of our lives is very different and complex. Our events will ask you to use one of these finical equity models, when you make your payments
For ALL events, and ALL 3 financial equity experimental models above, when considering what amount to pay, we invite you to consider the list of questions above.
If you are paying as an organisation, please refer to our client rate document here.
Please check which one of the above (1,2 or 3) is applicable to the event you are booking.
If you have any confusion or need more support, please contact us at [email protected]

OpenEdge’s Money System - Interdependent Needs-Based Gift Economy
We offer our events through an Interdependent Needs-Based Gift Economy system. You can choose how much you contribute financially to the event and we request you read through the following as a guide:
Why we ask for a deposit and how much should you choose for a deposit?
It is important to us that the deposit is not an obstacle to people joining us. And without any deposit we have found that some people sign up and don’t attend.
Guide: We request £75 for a deposit as this amount helps us to organise the event ahead of time. If you can offer this amount it would support our organising costs and sustainability. Otherwise, please choose your own amount.
How much to contribute for the whole event and when?
It is important to us that no one is prevented from participating due to finances, so we offer this event through an interdependent gift economy instead of a fixed fee transaction. It is also important to us that we can carry on offering events, and we are not currently salaried or funded by other means, so it’s important to us to meet our sustainability requirements.
Making your contributions
Towards the end of the event we will invite additional contributions in the form of cash, cheque or an IOU for a transfer (in an envelope that we will provide). At this time we will talk about what an interdependent gift economy is for us and what resources were needed to make this event happen.
Resources needed to make the event happen
We have venue cost and other expenses which range from £750- £1500 for a 2-day non residential programme and £1500-£2500 for a 3-day residential programme. In addition there is our input: It takes 2 or 3 of us around 3 days to plan and prepare, plus 2 days to follow up and debrief afterwards. This is in addition to the days facilitating the group.
Guide: While we want to move away from pricing things through strategies of equality where we add up the costs and divide by the number of people there, people do ask for a guide as they find it helpful:
Gift-it-Forward: We also invite you to give any additional amounts, to support others to attend our future events.
Please contact us via [email protected] if you would like to discuss anything about attending
* Whether you can join us or not, please support our work by taking a few moments to promote this within your networks!
