The Client Sponsorship Fund (CSF) is what makes KPCC’s sliding scale possible — a dedicated fund that closes the gap between what a family can afford and what care actually costs. It’s not a discount. It’s a promise KPCC has kept since the day our doors opened in 1972: the price of a session is never the reason someone stops coming.

Every client is offered a sliding-scale fee based on income and family size — no one is assessed at full cost by default.

A full-cost, self-pay session at KPCC is $195. A client’s sliding-scale rate is set from household income and family size instead — sometimes a small fraction of that. The CSF covers every dollar of the difference, automatically, every time.

Since 2020, the CSF has made 2,793+ subsidized counseling sessions possible:

Even with the CSF, there’s a gap — and our counselors close it themselves. When a client needs more support than the Fund alone can cover, our team has chosen, again and again, to donate their own time to make sure care continues. That’s not sustainable to ask of them forever. It’s exactly why growing the CSF matters: every dollar donated is a dollar that goes to a client, not out of a counselor’s own pocket.

“I was originally seen for therapy thanks to a sliding-scale and sponsorship program, and I wouldn’t have been able to get care or change my life for the better without it. That’s why I focus on making our CSF sustainable” — so the next person who needs it has exactly what she had. — Rozzy Lauderback, Development Director
