Inappropriate behavior—harassment, aggression, and intimidation
Harassment, aggression, and intimidation are hurtful and interfere with other people’s experiences and participation in our community. These behaviors are inappropriate and unacceptable.

Consequences of inappropriate behavior
Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. If you are asked to stop behaving inappropriately, you should comply immediately. If you see or are the target of inappropriate behavior or language, please email Funding Love Vice President & Birth Mom Program Director (Katelyn Duckworth) at katelyn@fundinglove.com, or Funding Love Vacation Director (Sarah Basham) at sarahbasham@fundinglove.com, and we will take appropriate action to ensure the event maintains a safe and constructive environment.

We are confident that most participants are fully supportive of the principles embodied in this code and that none will wish to be passive bystanders while abuse or bullying or harassment takes place. We call on all participants to actively support those subjected to unacceptable behavior, challenge those guilty of it, and support the vacation or event organizers to make this a positive, enjoyable, and healthy experience for all.
If you are subjected to unacceptable or offensive behavior, witness such behavior, or have any other similar concerns, please notify Katelyn Duckworth at katelyn@fundinglove.com, or Sarah Basham at sarahbasham@fundinglove.com immediately.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I have read and understood the terms of this agreement and agree to abide by them throughout the duration of the Funding Love Vacation.
Purpose
Being under the influence of alcohol and/or illicit drugs can seriously impair an individual’s judgement and reactions leading to an increased risk of accidents and injuries occurring.
This agreement is intended to promote a safe and enjoyable experience for all Funding Love Vacation attendees by having clear boundaries in place regarding the consumption of alcohol and illicit drug use, including legal opioids and mental health medications not specifically prescribed to an individual by a licensed healthcare provider, and to support those who have a history of alcohol/drug dependency.
Funding Love does not permit the sharing of prescribed opioids and/or mental health medications to those which they have not been specifically prescribed. Smoking marijuana or other illegal substances is not permitted at any time. For the comfort of all Guests, Walt Disney World theme parks are smoke free. The smoking of tobacco, e-cigarettes, or other products that produce a vapor or smoke is allowed only in designated outdoor smoking areas. While on your vacation, please ask a Funding Love Magic Maker or Representative, if you need help finding the nearest smoking area; we will be happy to assist.
A $250-$500 room-recovery fee will be charged to violators for smoking in Guest rooms or on balconies or patios at Disney Resort hotels.
