COVID-19 Safety Policy

Women of Color in Fundraising and Philanthropy (WOC)® is thrilled to welcome you back to in person WOC programing.

The health and safety of our attendees, Supporters, and staff is a top priority. WOC will only be holding in-person programs in locations that meet City of New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and New York State Department of Health guidelines, as well as the health and safety protocols of WOC and its selected venues outside the NY state area. These requirements combined with taking practical safety precautions onsite, will help ensure the safest possible experience for our attendees.

See below for information about the current approach and onsite safety measures. We anticipate that these criteria and precautions may evolve from event to event, so please check the desired event registration page for updates as we add more in person events to our calendar.

In accordance with Women of Color in Fundraising and Philanthropy (WOC)®, New York and New York’s safety ordinance, WOC requires all guests 5 years old and above provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination along with your photo ID prior to attending all WOC in-person events.
