General conditions and further information:

Financial support is for practitioners within the LGBTQIA+ community only, who otherwise struggle to afford the costs of a retreat. Priority is given to those attending their first in-person retreat, and to those facing multiple forms of discrimination.

​

Maximum funding per person is dependent on retreat costs, and is published with each round of funding.​​

We encourage all applicants to register with the retreat center as soon as they are able, as receiving support from RAD does not guarantee a place at the retreat. Those requesting funding from RAD should also request a reduction from the retreat center (usually 25% to 50%, depending on the center and one's situation).

Please note that we can only provide reimbursements for costs after completion of the retreat, and only for expenses for which we receive proper documentation. We cannot offer reimbursement for cancelled or unattended retreats. To ensure we can process your support, we kindly ask that all receipts and the completed reimbursement form be submitted within one month of the end of the retreat. To align with our collective commitment to mindfulness and sustainability, only eco-friendly travel options such as bus, train, or ridesharing are eligible for reimbursement.

​​

By applying for and receiving funding for your retreat, you also agree to send us a short (written) sharing of your retreat experience, along with a photo.

​​

We aspire to distribute this funding both fairly and anonymously. We gently ask that applicants refrain from sending personal messages to the RAD team, as doing so could unintentionally affect the anonymity of the process.

This is our fourth round of funding, and we will be continuously improving this process. We thank you for your patience as we begin our journey of offering support to our community. Your feedback is always welcome.​​
