We encourage you to share the good news about your project, event, or initiative. This guide for publicity and outreach is designed to assist you when acknowledging support from the Humanities Council.
Digital and print materials
We ask that you acknowledge your grant from the Humanities Council in a noticeable location on all promotional digital and print materials. This includes websites, event listings, posters, publications, etc.
Credit line
The following sample credit lines are intended to help you when acknowledging support for your project. Ideally, publicity mentioning support from the Council should refer to both the Humanities Council, and the name of the specific grant as listed in your award letter.
For links to the funds themselves, please visit the funding section of the Humanities Council website. If your grant is not listed below, please contact Mary Cate Connors, Humanities Council Communications Manager, with any questions.
