Offset Your Privilege

A Note on Pricing

We understand that putting a price on privilege is an impossible task. No number of dollars can replace the fear African Americans feel when they leave their front door. Money alone cannot solve our nation's problems with race. However, we understand how impactful money can be if used for the right goals, which is why we based the price for Privilege Offsets on our fundamental premise that "It is better to offset some of your privilege than none of your privilege."

So how far does $50 go?

Much further than $50. Think of it this way: If every white American gave $50 twice a year to offset their privilege, not only would there be tens of billions of dollars going toward the necessary causes, but every white American would have financially admitted their white privilege. And a world where everyone admits their white privilege in a real, financial way, is a world where people are sincerely combatting white privilege. The $50 is more than $50 because it serves as a real recognition of white privilege in a way that can't be done through posting a black picture on Instagram.

So why $50?

For 2 reasons:

  1. $50 twice a year is enough money to make you truly committed to the cause. Once you've committed $100 a year to the cause, you'll naturally take it seriously in other areas of your life as well.
  2. $50 twice a year is enough money to truly begin making a positive difference, and over the course of your life the difference you make will only grow and compound.

So why the other pricing options?

$50 twice a year is small enough to not be a huge financial burden, yet also big enough to show the issue is taken seriously. It is not, however, enough money to fully offset your privilege. No amount of money can do that, but the more money contributed, the closer we are to our goal of a better America for everyone. Therefore, for those who are able and willing to contribute more, we strongly encourage the payment options which renew more frequently. If you would like to contribute more than $50 a month, feel free to send us an email at support@privilegeoffset.com and we can set up a subscription to your liking.
Regardless of the payment option you choose, we cannot stress enough:

It is better to offset some of your privilege than none of your privilege.
