Who We Are, And Who Our Scholarships Are For
We are a small, idealistic lesbian-owned business committed to accessibility. We offer discounts to those who face true financial barriers and/or navigate discrimination and racism as a person of color in a racist world. These discounts are offered in a spirit of love and trust, and they can't be combined.
Our Discounts Are Not For You If:
You are just looking for a bargain, or take overseas or Olivia trips, drive a late-model luxury car, own multiple properties, own your home and have substantial equity, and/or spend money on luxury goods and dinners out. We mention this because in the past, people in each of those categories have asked for and received CGA scholarships, and we realized we needed to be clearer.
Please look at the chart below to get a sense of what level of discount you qualify for, and then email us at [email protected] with your request. Thank you!

Optional, 25% off everything scholarship for those over 60 or living with serious illness.
Of course, if you are able to pay the full price, doing so will support our work.

Of course, if you are able to pay the full price, doing so will support our work.
