US Peer Learning Circle – June 2026

Location: Washington DC

When Safety Gets Complicated: Supporting Funder Leadership, Well-Being and Decision-Making in Practice

At a time when global uncertainty, shifting risks, and growing expectations are making safety feel increasingly complex, this convening creates space for funders to connect and support each other. In addition, participants will leave with actionable solutions to strengthen how safeguarding concerns are handled — and feeling more supported, more connected, and re-energized for the work ahead.

The day will focus on two key themes:

Supporting the Well-Being of the Supporters: a dedicated well-being workshop and peer dialogue on how funders sustain themselves and their teams while holding responsibility for safeguarding in an increasingly complex environment.

Responding with Care Whether You’re Managing Up, Across, or Alone: Participants will work through real-world scenarios exploring the diversity of safeguarding and wellbeing issues that might arise for US and Canada funders. This will be followed by a practice clinic, where funders can review current procedures to identify practical ways to strengthen their systems and support when dealing with complex concerns.

This event is for SUPPORT and CONNECT members only.
