— compensation for our Artists of Color Council and Accessibility Advisory Team members
— guaranteed minimum teacher fees for all classes & workshops including those offered for FREE or on Sliding Scale
— contributor fees for both of our artist-led publications, Movement Research Performance Journal and Critical Correspondence
