Arizona Humanities requires public acknowledgment of the projects it supports, as outlined in the terms and conditions of your award. Federal regulations stipulate that credit be given to Arizona Humanities-funded projects in all written notices, news releases, or other publicity. Grantees must specify that the project is funded, supported, or made possible by a grant from Arizona Humanities. The name of Arizona Humanities and its logo must appear in a conspicuous location and be large enough to be easily legible. All logo formats are available on the Logos page.Â

Tips on how to do outreach to stakeholders
Arizona Humanities is a stakeholder and you can always reach out to us with questions about promoting your grant and your public programs. We encourage grant recipient features on our website, eNewsletters, and social media, especially public programs that audiences can attend. We want to celebrate the work our grantees are doing and highlight that impact in our communities.
It is important to Arizona Humanities to be in communication with our grantees throughout and after the grant period. The more you can share your grant with different audiences, the more that people understand the role and the importance of the humanities.
Every grantee will have different groups and organizations that are stakeholders in their grant.
