Sliding Scale Information
Recommended donations are calculated on a sliding scale, factoring in income, role, affiliation, and student status.
We also know that there are many additional factors which impact an individual’s financial position. While these are “recommended amounts,” we trust everyone’s assessment of their own financial capacity and how that informs whether to donate and at what level.
