Licensing Fees

Every organization offering a Stanford program must have a license for that program. If more than one program is being offered, the organization must have a license for each program offered.

Each license if good for 3 years from the date of issue. After each three year interval, licenses must be renewed.

Every licensed organization must make a yearly report (due on the anniversary of original license agreement) to Stanford stating the number of workshops and number of participants offered during the past year, number of leader trainings conducted, and the names of all leaders trained with contact information.

Licenses for organizations are be at the following rates:

If in the yearly report an organization has offered more workshops than it is licensed for, it should remit the difference in licensing fee per the chart above along with the report. If a licensee does not submit a report, it will be considered to be in breach of the agreement and subject to termination.

All licenses must be paid for and signed before an organization receives training. It is the responsibility of the Master Trainers or T-Trainers offering the training to see that all licenses are in order before training.

The license has been designed to be printed and submitted as is. It has been greatly simplified and has been written using plain English language with as little legalese so as to be understood by the lay person. The low cost and volume of these licenses make it impossible for us to negotiate special clauses for each organization. If your organization needs custom agreement, the cost of the license will increase by a minimum of $1,000 USD.

If at any time an organization cannot afford the licensing fee, it should contact Stanford for a fee reduction. This can be done by email: self-manage-licensing@stanford.edu
