What is a sliding scale?
There is no exact formula that determines what each of us can afford, because income is not the only deciding factor. For example, your relationship with money might also be affected by being a caregiver, your access to generational wealth, and/or the costs associated with a disability.

A sliding scale is used to encourage people to pay according to their available resources. Those with greater financial privilege contribute more, allowing those with less access to pay according to their means. This enables ManKind Project of Canada to maintain its services while maximizing accessibility.
