COVID-19 Policy
GIH is committed to providing Fall Forum attendees with a safe and healthy environment. All conference participants, speakers, and GIH staff and representatives will be required to show proof of being up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination per U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. This is defined as primary series of doses of two shots of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or one shot of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and one updated bivalent booster since September 2022. GIH recommends that all attendees wear face masks in public spaces unless eating, drinking, or actively presenting.
Acceptable proof of vaccination:
- Original vaccination record card.
- Photograph of original vaccination record card.
- Digital vaccine record.
Registrants with a medical condition that prevents vaccination must take the following actions to participate in person:
- Contact McKayla Gamino <mgamino@gih.org>, informing us of the request.
- Submit a health provider’s verification of the need for a medical exemption.
- Submit proof of a negative COVID-19 test administered within 24-48 hours before the start of the conference. Uploaded test results must list the registrant’s name, results, and a time stamp. At-home tests will be accepted.
- Agree to wear a mask at all indoor conference events, except while eating, drinking, or actively presenting.
As we approach the event date, GIH will review local COVID-19 data, policies, and best practices and may update our protocols to address emerging issues. If there is a significant shift in COVID-19 protocol, we will email forum registrants directly.
GIH Non-Solicitation Policy
GIH strives to create a space for funders and our partners in philanthropy to learn from and connect with one another; a space for candid conversation that is free of solicitation. GIH asks that all participants keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Fundraising and client solicitation are prohibited at the event. While it is permissible to follow up with contacts made at the meeting at their invitation, we ask that this not happen in advance of the meeting.
- For those organizations that both raise funds and make grants, we ask that your participation during the meeting activities be as a funder only (unless as part of your session participation).
- Contact information on the participant list is for networking purposes only. Non-funders should not add an individual’s contact information to your organization’s mailing list without that person’s permission.
GIH Code of Conduct Policy
The GIH Fall Forum is a space dedicated to learning, and it is important to us that all participants feel welcome and safe. GIH appreciates your partnership in ensuring that the professional environment we share is one defined by mutual respect and inclusiveness, where dignity and diversity are valued. GIH is committed to a harassment-free experience for all event participants, and expects all participants to treat other participants with respect and behave with the high degree of integrity expected of the philanthropic field. GIH does not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form and will review and respond to reports of harassment. If you experience or witness offensive language, inappropriate behavior, or harassment of any kind while attending a GIH event or program, please alert a member of the GIH staff, or contact us at info@gih.org.
