Question 1

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Group cohesion is key to our peer learning cohorts. Refunds will be approved only for medical or family emergencies that prevent the registrant from attending five or more of the sessions or on a singular case-by-case basis. Please contact CEP for further questions.

Question 2

What do I need to participate in each 2-hour session?

Accepted Answer

Participants need a reliable internet connection, the Zoom app, and the ability to join from an individual computer to engage with the group for the duration of 2-hour sessions. CEP is committed to making cohorts a welcoming and accessible space, please contact us if you require accommodations.

Question 3

Can I still enroll if I can not attend all sessions?

Accepted Answer

Because group interaction is a key element of the cohort, we request that registrants join with the intention of attending all sessions. Please contact us before registering if you anticipate conflicts with any of the session dates.

Question 4

Will sessions be recorded?

Accepted Answer

In alignment with cohort confidentiality practices, sessions will not be recorded. Other session materials, such as recommended readings, will be available to registered participants throughout the cohort duration.

Question 5

My organization is interested in enrolling more than five Program Officers. What can we do?

Accepted Answer

Please contact us to discuss the specific options for your organization and current registration guidelines for this cohort. In addition to learning cohorts, the Learning Institute also designs and facilitates custom workshops on philanthropy related topics for individual grant making organizations.
