Payment: There are three different payment methods generally used for programs at Stillpoint:
1) Freewill donation
These are free programs to educate/serve the community, freewill donations are collected to offset Stillpoint's overhead expenses, no payment to the program provider.
2) Flat Fee
Program provider pays a flat fee based on the amount of time and space needed to rent the facility. The program provider does all their own marketing, collection of any funds charged participants, etc. Any additional items program provider would like from Stillpoint can be paid for a la carte, such as credit card processing or using Stillpoint staff for event management. You can view the facility rental fees on our website.
3) Split Fee
Program provider and Stillpoint share the income earned by the program (generally 50/50 but this can vary depending on the materials/costs involved in the event so feel free to propose what you feel is fair with justification for any additional costs you will be paying for). Stillpoint jointly markets the program across a variety of platforms and can provide additional staffing. Stillpoint collects fees paid by participants and provides an accounting and payout to the program provider after the event.
