Our Prices
We’re here to change the world, not to get rich, and we’re passionate about finding new ways to serve small organizations that can’t pay to play in the normal agency market. That’s why we’re posting our prices clearly and publicly. That’s why we’re doing our best not to charge you at all. And we’re nowhere near done searching for solutions. If you have an idea for a way we can better or more affordably serve organizations in need, we’re all ears.
