FGC incurs costs for our virtual events, including staff costs and modest honoraria for presenters. With our projected attendance and budgeted costs, we anticipate the approximate cost per attender to be $150.
We are asking that all Friends who are able pay $125 for the retreat. Friends whose income is more limited are asked to pay a minimum of $75. If this amount is still too much of a stretch, please ask your monthly or yearly meeting if there is support for you, and if you still need aid, do not hesitate to reach out to FGC staff at spiritualdeepening@fgcquaker.org We do not want anyone to stay away because of a lack of funds. Additional donations towards our programs are always welcome and appreciated.
Please know that donations from individuals and foundations also help make the Spiritual Deepening program possible. We're very grateful.
