Geofund + Declare: Logging In for the First Time
Welcome to Geofund, the new home for all of your Declare needs. Within Geofund, you will be able to prepare and submit your Declare labels, directly communicate with your Declare reviewer, download draft images of submitted labels, access copies of published labels at will, and connect with third party verifiers. At Living Future, we’re excited for what this partnership can do for participants in the Declare program.
Accessing Geofund as an Existing Declare Participant
Since you are an active participant in the Declare program, an account has already been created for your organization. The email address for that account will be the same that was used to submit Declare labels within 3E Exchange. For example, if your usual email is client@org.com, but you submitted Declare labels under the email: declare@org.com, your Geofund account will be created using the declare@org.com email address.
Please note: if you do not have access to that email, or are interested in changing it, please contact declare.support@living-future.org for support updating the email address associated with your organization’s account.
Begin by going to buildings.geofund.io. From here, you will be met with the home page. Select the Log In button, to be taken to the log in page.
Since this is your first time logging in, a password has not yet been created. Select Reset password to proceed.
You will be taken through a new workflow to reset your password. The first step will be to input your email address.
As a reminder, the email address you enter should match the email address that was used to submit Declare labels in 3E Exchange. This process will not work if you enter an email for an account that hasn’t been created.
Once you’ve entered the email address, select Continue.
A reset password email will be sent directly to the email address you provided. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password, and then return to the login screen within Geofund to log in normally.
If you do not receive an email with instructions to reset your password, please contact declare.support@living-future.org. In your message, include your name, email address, and the organization participating in Declare.
You should now be able to log into your Geofund account and be able to review and manage your Declare labels.

Updating Your Account Details
Once you have successfully logged in, before you begin preparing your Declare labels, Living Future recommends setting up your Company Details and your profile. To make these changes, select Settings from the left hand menu. You will automatically be brought to the Company Details tab of the settings page.
Within Company Details, ensure the Company Logo, Company Name, Company Email, and Website are up to date. These are the fields that will auto-populate in the Manufacturer Info section of the Product tab of a Declare label.
Please note, these fields will be publicly visible on the Declare Database.
After your company details are input and correct, select My Profile to ensure your First Name, Last Name, and Title are correct. Be sure to select Save after making any changes.
This is optional, but recommended by the Living Future team to ensure clarity when providing feedback or answering questions.
