Community Health Policy
The health and safety of the WFN community, including staff and participants is important to us. We recognize the impact of COVID-19 and other timely viral infections are ongoing and the importance of communicating our approach and sharing resources to inform your decision-making around health and safety. Our approach is driven by the policies of our host country, the size and scale of our event, and the reality of vaccine inequity globally.
At this time, we are following the guidelines set out by the U.S., and local D.C. government. While we will take preventative measures – such as providing masks and access to hand sanitizer – to reduce the spread of viral infections, we are not able to guarantee that participants who choose to attend in person will not be exposed to a virus while attending the event. We strongly advise participants to take all precautions based on their health conditions and personal circumstances.

We look forward to connecting with you at the largest convening of gender-focused philanthropy, dedicated to creating a more just, equitable, and safer world for all.
