Our in-person workshop spaces are dedicated to learning, but participants can’t learn if they don’t feel safe. GEO is committed to creating a harassment free environment for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of anyone including participants, staff, or speakers in any form and reserve the right to remove anyone from a program if such conduct occurs. GEO appreciates your partnership in ensuring that the learning environment we share is one defined by mutual respect and inclusiveness, where dignity and diversity are valued.

Photographs and/or video may be taken in the full group spaces at this event. By attending this event, you consent to your image/likeness and/or voice being used in photographs and/or film, and any reproductions or adaptations thereafter, by GEO to use in any and all print and digital media in perpetuity.

If you do not wish to be photographs and/or filmed, please contact us at programs@geofunders.org.

GEO workshops are open to current GEO-members and member-eligible non-members; all staff and trustees of grantmaking institutions; staff of philanthropy-supporting infrastructure groups, such as regional associations of grantmakers and affinity groups; and staff of academic institutions and programs focused primarily on the study of philanthropy and the practice of giving.

Our workshop participant eligibility policy intends to create a space where participants can speak openly and candidly about challenges within their work while also allowing people from a variety of grantmaking and philanthropy-supporting organizations to participate in the series.

Consultants who are member-eligible will be limited to five (5) or 10% of registration numbers, whichever is lower. Consultants will be approved on a case-by-case basis and will need to agree to a no-solicitation policy by refraining from soliciting other participants for business, clients, or funding while at the workshop. Participants may, and are encouraged to share their experience and expertise, but promotional materials and pitches will not be allowed.

GEO will only accept participant registrations that are in accordance with our eligibility policy. GEO has the discretion to edit your submission, in accordance with our policies, and will alert participants to any changes.

Additionally, we encourage organizations to have multiple individuals at their organization participate in order to apply your learning together. 

If you are not a GEO member and are interested in becoming a member, please visit our membership page or email our membership team via membership@geofunders.org.
