Community Cultivator Savings Program
Growing Spaces discounts that reward alignment, not timing
About the program
Most greenhouse companies run discounts the way airlines run fares: a moving target of seasonal sales, end-of-quarter clearance, "save 5% with your email" popups. We do it differently.
A Growing Dome is a long decision. Most of our customers spend months, sometimes years, researching, sizing, planning, and saving. A 72-hour spring sale is unlikely to push someone over the line on a five-figure purchase, and it is not the way we have chosen to do business. So instead of leaning on promotions, we built a structural discount program that does something else. It tells you who we look out for and why.
We call it the Community Cultivator Savings Program. It is a four-rung ladder, by design.
Growing Spaces Standing Discounts
for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits, PreK–12 schools, and government entities (city, county, state, federal, and tribal).
This is the largest tier because the alignment is largest. These organizations are usually grant-funded, mission-driven, and operating against budgets where 6% can be the difference between feasibility and a project deferred for another year.
for visiting our headquarters in Pagosa Springs for a dome tour.
A trip to southwestern Colorado is a real commitment of time and money, and we want to acknowledge it. Worth noting: people who tour overwhelmingly end up buying.
for visiting one of our partner sites.
Domes hosted by previous customers or partner organizations who give the occasional tour to people in their region. Smaller engagement, smaller acknowledgment, same idea.
for people working in qualifying public service roles.
Active or retired military, EMTs, firefighters, police, teachers, social workers, Master Gardeners®, park rangers, and employees of public-land or conservation agencies. We keep this list intentionally broad. The 2% is a small acknowledgment, and we keep the verification light. If your service is in the spirit of the list, that is enough.
if you pay by e-check, wire, or debit.
Credit card processing eats roughly that amount in fees. When we save it, you save it.
How discounts combine
You can stack up to two of the standard discounts, capped at 10% combined. The 1% payment-method discount sits on top of that, so the effective ceiling is 11%. If you qualify for more than two, we apply whichever combination saves you the most. The full mechanics are in our FAQ.
The structure exists to say what we value: community organizations doing work that matters, people who make the trip to see what we build, and the kinds of public service most companies acknowledge with vague gratitude. We wanted it stable enough to stay the same as the seasons change.
Some situations sit outside this structure. A customer adding a second dome to their property or coming back for a new dome after moving. A school district ordering three at once. A freight route that lets us share shipping across kits. The published program is meant to be simple, and the conversation around it has more room. If your situation has something the ladder does not account for, ask. We work it out from there.
If your organization is working on something we want to support, our team can put together a no-obligation quote and the standard documentation you might need for a board, a grant application, or a funding proposal.
