Sliding scale cost
In an effort to make the RootSkills Conference as accessible as possible, registration is on a self-identified, sliding scale from $35 - $150.
The “true" per-person cost of the conference is $150. The true cost is what it takes for us to provide conference space, programming, childcare, translation/interpretation, and food. If you're able, or are being supported by an organizational budget, we encourage you to pay at or above this level. As you register, we ask that you to reflect on what is within your means for attending the conference this year. If this range is still outside your means we invite you to apply for a scholarship (details below). Each registration level provides a description of what that amount will cover in supporting the event. However, registering at any level includes access to all agenda components: meals, workshops and evening reception. |

Scholarships & stipends
**Online applications for scholarships and stipend are now closed.
We strive to lower barriers to participation at our events. The scholarship & stipend options below are aimed to support those organizers and community members that might not be able to attend without this financial support. Funds for these stipends are limited. All stipends (reimbursements) will be processed after the event and must be returned within 6 weeks of the event date. Once you have applied, a Grassroots Fund staff member will follow up with next steps.
