Grapevine Community Guidelines
As a community of people coming together to give back, it’s incredibly important to Grapevine that we’re able to foster a safe, supportive, collaborative, and fun environment for people to do this important work. That’s why we’ve put together some community guidelines for everyone who is leading a group on grapevine, joining a group, donating to a nonprofit, or just browsing.
Our values that have informed our community guidelines for how we want our community to engage:
- Open
- Intentional
- Collaborative
- Spirited
