Does non-profit mean there is no charge for speakers and artists?
While Speak Out is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, speakers and artists do ask an honorarium plus travel expenses and accommodations must be covered. We work with over 200 speakers and artists some of them make their living through lectures or performances; others are raising funds for their own organizations, communities and causes. Fees range from $2000 and up. While all speakers and artists have a set fee there can sometimes be flexibility. For example, if a speaker or artist is already going to be in your area, block booking may reduce costs. Some speakers have specific criteria on when they might charge less, especially for groups or communities that have less access to funds. Contact Speak Out for costs on the specific people youre interested in.
