Download the Grantee Acknowledgments Guide for Organizations
For grantee organizations (other than schools), there are several ways grantees can acknowledge our support. Not every means of acknowledgment is required for a program. The means of acknowledgment depends on the type of program and the promotional materials being produced. Ways to acknowledge our support include: 1) using our logos; 2) crediting us in writing; 3) verbally acknowledging us in your announcements; 4) notifying your state legislators about their Oklahoma Arts Council grant award; and, 5) tagging us on social media.
Use Our Logos (download below)
Use Oklahoma Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts logos on all promotional materials for programs funded by our agency. Include the logos in print and digital ads, email marketing campaigns, fliers, posters, rack cards, social media graphics, slideshows, videos, and other materials where graphics are used. Logos should be readable and should not be altered. Logos should be sized proportionally to original dimensions. Download logos below.
What about websites? Organizations receiving funding in our Organizational Support and Major Grant Support categories are required to add the Oklahoma Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts logos to their websites. Use with the following language:
