We get it. Life can be expensive! But we recognize the value climbing can have, and the importance it can play in physical and mental health.

While we strongly believe that our standard membership pricing reflects their immense value, we understand that not all can afford it. Our ELEV8 4 ALL membership options exist to reduce financial barriers to climbing access to promote inclusion and ensure our community can benefit from a diverse group of members.

These memberships are monthly recurring just like our standard. Dues are automatically billed on the first of each month.

Applicants self select the amount they deem appropriate for ELEV8 to subsidize their dues. **As a reminder, membership dues allow us to pay our employees, run events, maintain and update the facility, and keep doing all the rad things we do for our community!

Good question!

This membership option is not a discounted membership deal.

This membership is not a way to economically justify how much you think you might use it.

You likely do not qualify for this subsidized membership if:

• You can buy food out multiple times per week

• You easily cover costs like groceries and rent (or you own your home)

• You can afford to pay for entertainment (streaming services, performances, nights out, etc)

It is a way for those who are financially burdened to afford to be a meaningful part of our community.

Qualification is on an honor-based system, but here are some scenarios that would likely apply to your life if you are a good candidate for a subsidized membership:

• You are burdened by student loans

• You rarely go out to eat

• You are unemployed/underemployed, but not by choice

• You struggle to cover basic costs (shelter, food, healthcare)

• You receive government assistance (SNAP, EBT, etc)

• You support children/elderly on a single income

• You do not have a financial safety net
