The Financial Commitment:
Practicing Redistribution In Real Time

Rooted In Redistribution is designed to move beyond theory into real, material change. To support the depth of this work and ensure meaningful redistribution, there are two separate financial commitments.

  • The program fee covers the cost of running a small, intentional, and deeply facilitated space. It supports:

    • Facilitation, curriculum development, and program logistics

    • The intentional curation of a small group setting for deeper relational accountability

    • Administrative, operational, and technical support

    • The labor, care, and expertise required to hold this space with depth and integrity

    This fee ensures that the program is well-resourced and that participants receive the structure and support needed for personal transformation and material change.

    The program fee is separate from the redistribution commitment, ensuring that the primary focus remains on moving wealth toward justice, not just funding the program.

  • In addition to the program fee, each participant commits to a minimum redistribution of $2,500 to Loving Black Single Mothers, a grassroots organization providing direct support to lower-income Black single mothers and their children.

    This redistribution commitment is about moving resources in real time—not as charity, but as a form of justice and repair.

  • The separation of the program fee from the redistribution commitment serves an intentional purpose:

    • The program fee sustains the labor and infrastructure that holds this space.

    • The redistribution commitment ensures that wealth is actively being moved to support communities most impacted by systemic inequality.

    Rooted Redistribution is about realignment and action. This structure ensures that participants are not just funding a program but actively participating in reparative economic practices.

The program fee is $4,500, and the redistribution commitment will vary for each participant because it’s based on your net wealth or income. The redistribution scale is as follows:

If your net wealth or income is up to $299,000, your redistribution commitment is $2,500

If your net wealth or income is $300,000 - $499,000, your redistribution commitment is $3,500

If your net wealth or income is $500,000 - $699,000, your redistribution commitment is $4,500

If your net wealth or income is $700,000 - $899,000, your redistribution commitment is $5,500

If your net wealth or income is $900,000 or above, your redistribution commitment is $6,500

The total for your participation will be the base program fee of $4,500 plus whatever your redistribution commitment is based on your net wealth or income.

Program Fee ($4,500) + Donation Rate (varies) = Total Cost

For example, if your net wealth is $350,000, your total participation rate would be $8,000 ($4,500 program fee + $3,500 donation)

A Few Notes:

  • Your redistribution commitment to Loving Black Single Mothers is tax deductible, but your program fee is not.

  • You can make your redistribution to Loving Black Single Mothers through a DAF or a gift of stock.

  • You are welcome to make a more significant redistribution than the one listed above if that feels aligned.

Who Should Apply?

Rooted In Redistribution is designed for white women wealth holders who have the financial capacity to engage in meaningful redistribution. This program is about moving money, not just reflecting on privilege. Because wealth is often inherited and protected over generations, we look at net worth, liquid assets, and financial security, rather than just annual income, when considering participation.

To ensure that participants can engage in real, sustained redistribution, I ask that you meet at least one of the following:

✔ Net worth of $1 million or more (excluding primary residence)
✔ Annual household income of $250,000+
✔ At least $500,000 in liquid assets (cash, stocks, investments, etc.)
✔ Significant family wealth or trust fund access that provides long-term financial security

These guidelines help ensure that participants have enough financial stability to make meaningful redistribution commitments while remaining financially secure.
