Acknowledgement Requirements for Grant Recipients

Congratulations on being recommended for funding from Broward Cultural Division. Acknowledgement of the Division's support is a contractual obligation of receiving County funds and helps to ensure recognition of the County's support of arts and culture. This page and the linked PDF contains logos and other recognition guidelines for your information and use.

Grant recipient requirements:

  1. Acknowledge the Cultural Division

  2. Submit content to ArtsCalendar.com

Grant recipients are required to acknowledge the County's support in all online and print materials related to the funded organization, program, or project. In general, recognition is required for the duration of the project (for Artists Support and Program Support grants) or for the entirely of the grant period (for General Operating Support).

If notified by Broward Cultural Division, some support recipients may also be required to acknowledge the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Additionally, grant recipients are required to submit program and event listings to ArtsCalendar.com, the Division's primary outlet for promoting arts and culture in Broward County. When possible, we also ask that the ArtsCalendar logo be placed on grantee websites to help promote the site as a county-wide resource.

Cultural Division Logo Guidelines

Grant recipients are required to place the Cultural Division logo on all printed and online materials.

General Operating Support (GOS) – for organizations receiving major support though GOS, the Cultural Division logo is required for the duration of the project period in which the support is given (Oct. 1-Sept. 30). The logo should be placed in a manner consistent with the level of support given.

Program and Artist Support Grants – for organizations and individuals receiving project-specific grants through our Program Support and Artist Support Grants, the Cultural Division logo is required on all materials related to the specific program or project being funded, for the duration of project.



​
General Use Guidelines​
The logo may be resized to accommodate your needs. When resizing, please ensure the logo's aspect ratio is not changed.
For black and white treatments, you may convert the logo to appear in black and white. 
The logo size and placement should be consistent with your organization's recognition of similar levels of support.
Print, Radio, and On-Stage Recognition

When crediting the support of the County in a printed program, radio advertisement, on stage before an event, or in another way that does not involve a logo, please refer to the following guidance. Please note that these crediting statements are not required to be used in conjunction with a logo.​

General Operating Support grants:

Program and Artist Support grants:​

ArtsCalendar.com​

As a grant recipient, you are required to create and maintain a current profile listing on the site (as an artist or institution). Additionally, all programming or events available for the public are required to be submitted as calendar event listings on the site. Ensuring your content is listed on the site allows the Cultural Division's marketing team to assist in promoting your work and projects with our audiences via eblasts, social media, articles, etc.

When possible, we ask that the ArtsCalendar.com logo be placed on grantee websites to help promote the site as a county-wide resource.
