Grant Recipient Media Kit

Congratulations on your grant from CFCG!

Your program is important and worthy of media attention. Publicity and media coverage will help ensure the success of the funded project, your organization, and the Community Foundation of Central Georgia. To help you communicate the impact of your work, we have provided a Grant Recipient Media Kit.

CFCG is always interested in capturing the stories of our grantees. Telling your story helps to tell our story and communicates to our donors the importance of supporting projects like yours. We often feature stories of our grantees in our marketing materials. If you have a story that you would like to share, please contact Katherine Hamilton, Communications Associate.

The following materials are intended for the use of CFCG grantees and will help you get the recognition your project and organization deserve. Here are some suggested ways to announce your project’s grant award:

Our Name

Please acknowledge the Community Foundation’s support with our name and logo in publications, programs, and signage for any event or presentation that received grant funding.

Please always use our full name — Community Foundation of Central Georgia — when referencing the Foundation, and please describe your funding as a “grant from the [INSERT FUND NAME] of the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.” For example, you might say: “We are happy to announce our organization has received a $1,000 grant from the Dunlap Williamson Fund of the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.”

When including a boilerplate description about the Community Foundation, please use the following:

“The Community Foundation of Central Georgia was founded in 1993 by a group of citizens interested in encouraging philanthropy and strengthening communities. Since then, the foundation has awarded more than $100 million in grants. Our donors make possible the foundation’s mission to enhance the quality of life for the people of Central Georgia. To learn more, visit cfcga.org”.

Our Logo

We encourage grant recipients to use the Community Foundation logo wherever suitable. You can download our primary logo here. We have several logo color ways, formats, and resolutions available.

If you received funding from one of our affiliates or need help with obtaining a specific logo, please contact us at info@cfcga.org for further assistance.

Communications

Before sharing information about your grant externally, we encourage garuntees to share the news within their organization. Please notify your board of directors and staff about your recent grant from the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.

When first mentioning CFCG, please refer to the organization by its full name – Community Foundation of Central Georgia. Once the full name has been mentioned, it may be shortened to the Community Foundation, the Foundation, or CFCG thereafter.

Press Releases

Issue a press release announcing the grant award. Always try to include pictures of the program and check presentation, along with the CFCG logo, and your organization’s logo. A template press release is available here. We strongly encourage you to use this template and the information it contains to ensure you are correctly referencing CFCG and its generous donors.

Please send all press releases that mention the Community Foundation of Central Georgia, its affiliates, or any grants awarded to CFCG before it is shared.

Publications

Feature the grant award in your organization’s newsletters, eblasts, social media, donor updates, and on your website. We recommend sharing compelling photos of the project or the residents it serves when applicable.

We ask that you include an acknowledgement of the Community Foundation’s investment in your project in publications, and please share relevant materials with us.

Social Media

When posting about your grant, your posts should include:

  • Details about your project
  • Relevant photos (at least one is recommend)
  • Please tag CFCG or link to our website:
  • Relevant hashtags: #CommunityFoundationCentralGA #CFCG #NonprofitGrant #NonprofitCentralGA

Keep in touch with CFCG!

Share photos of your grant at work for the opportunity to be featured on our social media pages or publications. We would love to hear updates about your organization and its projects. To share your story and photos, please email us!
