Code of Conduct

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at the Central America Donors Forum (CADF) are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Seattle International Foundation (SIF) will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect and ask for the cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe and productive environment for everybody.

Summary

SIF is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone at CADF, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference visitors in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including the online platforms used for the event, on social media or any other online outlets. Solicitation of any kind during the event is prohibited. Additionally, to maintain a secure environment, all participants must wear their official badges and any required wristbands at all times. Conference participants violating these rules may be expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of Seattle International Foundation.

Non-Solicitation Policy

SIF maintains a non-solicitation policy covering CADF. SIF strives to provide participants with learning and networking opportunities in a distraction-free environment, free from the dynamics of solicitation from grantseekers. SIF enforces a strict no-solicitation policy:

  • Solicitation of any kind during the event, including, but not limited to, asking for business, soliciting fund management services, distributing grant proposals, or requesting grant funding is prohibited at CADF.
  • For organizations that both raise funds and make grants, your participation at CADF is as a grantmaker only.
  • Contact information on the CADF participant list is for networking purposes only. Please refrain from using the participant list or similar information for solicitation purposes without the express permission of SIF.
  • SIF reserves the right to restrict the participation of individuals whose behavior contravenes our no solicitation policy. Any person and/or organization found to be violating this policy may be expelled from the event without refund of registration fees.

Anti-Harassment Policy

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, and unwelcome sexual attention.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a SIF staff member immediately. If you prefer to submit an anonymous complaint, please click here to send a message via Google Forms.

Badge Policy

To ensure the security and safety of the CADF space, a priority that is especially important for many of our attendees who work in difficult circumstances, all participants must wear their event badges at all times. Please note that as the organizers, SIF may also require the use of event wristbands. Only attendees displaying proper identifying materials, such as the official badge and wristband, will be permitted entry into most CADF areas. If you notice anyone within the CADF space who is not identified with a badge or wristband, we encourage you to inform our event staff immediately so we can maintain a secure and safe environment for everyone.

Your participation at the Central America Donors Forum is valued. Thank you for helping us ensure the forum is a safe environment for everyone.
