Publicizing Grants

Publicizing Grants

Please publicize your grant! 

Publicity increases the visibility of your project, and helps the community better understand the impact of their investments in the foundation. 

We welcome frequent emails and photographs, stories about client or project successes, etc. Open channels of communication allow us to share your good news and pressing needs with our donors and stakeholders. 

We strongly encourage you to make public announcements on your own, especially when they might stimulate additional support or help to inform the community about important or new projects. Media releases, letters to the editor, newsletters and organizational e-mails, social media and/or website announcements are all encouraged. 

Please use the following wording in any public announcements and on printed materials associated with the grant project: 

“This project is made possible by a grant from The -Insert Name of Fund- Fund of The Community Foundation.”
