When you join OC365, you gain access to these core programs offered on a monthly rotating basis:

Community Connections – personal sharing, “What’s it like to be you right now?”

How Can We Help You? – Delegates present challenges and/or opportunities for which they would like input

Affinity Circles ~ open, large format Delegate-hosted meetings for SDGs, regions and roles

Collective Action Groups – facilitated (and supported) small groups working together to take an idea or project from concept to execution using the Idea to Innovation methodology

Conversations for Change & Capacity-Building Clinics – dialogue (as opposed to formal presentation) on topics or issues of Delegate’s choosing, co-hosted by multiple Delegates

Serendipity Hour – no formal agenda but suggested discussion prompts, co-hosted by Fellowship Partner orgs

For an additional investment, you can opt-in to:

Colloquium for the Common Good – curated groups of 10-12, expertly facilitated, in-depth discussion on timely, pressing issues with a focus on internal (as opposed to external/organizational) reflection

or

Power in Partnership – core to the OC culture is the belief that, through the development of shared experience and intention, through the power in partnership, we will create a more just, equitable and inclusive world for all.  In collaboration with our very own Kathryn Hall-Trujillo, we are proud to offer OC365 participants the unique opportunity to be paired up with an unlikely ally, someone you would otherwise never have the chance to know, whether that’s because of race, gender, age, birthplace, professional background, political persuasion, sector expertise, etc.  With expert facilitation from Kathryn, these pairs will invest the prerequisite time to truly empathize with one another, build trust, identify common visions, and mutually invest in each other’s success.

We are offering this leadership development opportunity to the first 20 OC365 participants who express interest, 10 pairs in total.  Each pair will meet twice a month, no less than 5 times.  Pairs will be assigned by OC leadership.  Pairs will also be invited into quarterly group meetings to discuss  the process as a cohort.

You will also receive:

Concierge Connection Service – 30 minute profiling session to discern optimal demographics of desired introductions, and quarterly touchpoints to identify new members of potential interest resulting in 5-10 carefully curated connections per OC365 Delegate per year

Community Platform – an online platform and community engagement tool that connects Social Purpose Organizations and Funders – providing tools, stories and up-to-date data on the World Changers, increasing market insights and networking opportunities

Fellowships will be awarded on a rolling basis. If you receive a Fellowship, you will be expected to pay what you can, with a minimum commitment of $50 USD.

Consistent with our core mission to amplify collaboration in the sector, organizations who share our ethos and objectives for advancing the fields of effective philanthropy, social entrepreneurship and impact investing can join OC365 as Fellowship Partners.

Fellowship Partners support the participation of their members, partners and/or networks in the OC365 platform. Fellowship Partners contribute $1,000 per Fellowship, from 5 – 20 Fellowships total, and receive 1 complimentary Delegate memberships for every 5 Fellowships supported. Fellowship Partner logos will be listed on our Partners page, and each Fellowship Partner will have the opportunity to host a Happy Hour.

To discuss details, please reach out to Topher: topher@ocimpact.com.

Regardless of which option you choose to enroll, you can add the Power in Partnership experience to your registration for $250.

At Opportunity Collaboration, we envision a world where everyone is treated fairly and equally. We know that is not yet the world that we live in, and acknowledge that there is power and privilege that we must work to address to level the playing field.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for harm and harassment. Opportunity Collaboration reserves the right to decline Delegate status to anyone violating this policy. This policy is shared on the website and every Delegate receives written information onsite about how to report negative experiences, along with a list of individuals who can respond to concerns.

We seek to live our values in community, as demonstrated through our words and actions. We seek to create a space where everyone feels supported to show up as their best self and share their unique contributions with one another. We believe that we create our best work in the world in an environment where everyone can thrive. We seek to support our Delegates in being present with one another in a way that dismantles oppressive systems present in society at large.

To create a space where everyone feels welcomed and supported, we ask all Delegates in our community to follow these guidelines:

• Respect others. We respect every person and prioritize personal development in ourselves and others. Respectful behavior includes listening before speaking and asking questions rather than assuming intentions. It means respecting others as they seek to build meaningful connections, and entering into private meetings or conversations only when invited, or after asking permission.
• Assume the best. If you have been offended or hurt by someone’s words or actions, seek first to understand their intentions and meaning (if you feel it is appropriate and that you can do so safely).
• Respect your own needs. Pay attention to your own needs. Stand up for yourself if you have been treated unfairly, or ask for help or clarification. Take the time or space you need to be fully present and rested.
• Engage in constructive dialogue. We bring together people from many different walks of life. Recognize that someone else’s frame of reference is likely to be different from your own. When conflicts arise, see what you can learn from another’s point of view.
• Do not harass others, and do your part to prevent and stop harassment. Contribute not only through refraining from engaging in harassing behavior yourself, but by standing beside and in support of others who you see experiencing forms of harassment.

What is harassment? Harassment can be verbal, physical, or emotional. Harassment includes:

• Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, citizenship status or religion.
• Use or abuse of a position of privilege or power to manipulate or extort others into doing something about which they are hesitant or uncomfortable (i.e. meeting in a location or in attire that is not professional).
• Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices.
• Unwelcome sexual attention.
• Unsolicited or off-topic sexual images, references, behavior, or advances.
• Physical contact and simulated physical contact (e.g., textual descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a request to stop.
• Coercion, pressure, or repeated suggestions to engage in the consumption of alcohol or drugs.
• Threats of violence.
• Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
• Deliberate intimidation.
• Deliberate misgendering.
• Stalking or following.
• Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
• Sustained disruption of discussion.
• Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others.
• Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
• Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent.
• Publication of private communications.
