Grantmaking
Communications Tool kit
Congratulations on Receiving Support from the Health Foundation
As a recipient of a grant from the Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation, we understand that you may wish to share this information to help showcase your impactful work. This toolkit is designed to assist you in effectively communicating about your Health Foundation support and includes sample resources that you can utilize for engaging with your community and partners.
Sharing News About Your Work & TEAM
We believe that your story is the story. With this in mind, we want to ensure that your story takes the spotlight, even when announcing a grant you received from the Health Foundation. To help make that happen, we suggest following these guidelines when preparing a news release or announcement.
- It is your decision whether to share the dollar amount of your grant support. If you do, we recommend the following approach to ensure the focus is on the work you have done.
- We suggest that you NOT include grant amounts in the headline.
- We recommend considering a headline such as “[Organization] Expands Proven Program to Address [Issue Area]” rather than “[Organization] Receives $XXX from the Health Foundation.”
- It is also okay to NOT share the dollar amount of your grant or investment from the Health Foundation. You can simply use a phrase like “with support from Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation” if you prefer.
We would like to know in advance when you plan to publicize your support from us. Please email j.bryson@hchealthfnd.org and give us a heads up.
