Pay What You Can Rates (PWYC):

(Available through October 1) We encourage you to pay the registration rate that is meaningful to and possible for you. While earned revenue from our events is a significant portion of our operating budget, supporting the policy and advocacy work we do on behalf of nonprofits, we aim to keep our fees accessible, often below market rate, and offer further reduced entry points for those who need them to participate in professional development. If your participation is dependent on a PWYC rate, please register with the promo code that corresponds with your accessible price point below.   

PWYC Rates  Code
 $69 PWYC69
 $89 PWYC89
 $109 PWYC109
 $129 PWYC129

You will not be asked to complete an application to prove need. PWYC rates are the scholarship model for this year’s Annual Conference. The rates are for individuals and do not apply to small- and large-group registrations.
