  • Mention the grant support in your organization’s materials and on social media. When doing so, please use the following language: Funding provided (or funded in part) by a grant from The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. (Note that the “t” in “The” is capitalized.)
  • Create a link on your website to The Community Foundation. By including a link to our website, you help increase traffic to both our sites. You can also include the Foundation’s logo on your website, when appropriate.
  • Include the Foundation’s name and logo on signs or plaques that recognize donors at your events or facilities.
  • Follow our social media and tag us if you mention us on yours.
  • Issue a news release to the media. Remember to tell your story through the people you help and the impact you have on your community.
  • Support The Community Foundation’s marketing efforts by submitting stories of your successes and your work.
  • Capture and share appealing images using this guide. CFWNC features grant recipients in our printed publications, on our website and in social media. Please share your images with us.
