Publicity

Projects, groups and organisations can help spread the word about our grant programmes through websites, social media channels, newsletters and other promotional materials.

Celebrating a funding grant highlights what we do best: giving money to community groups to make a positive difference across South Yorkshire communities. 

Share on socials!

Alongside sharing the good news about being funded by SYCF, tag our social accounts when you’re delivering your project activities with an image or even a short video!

How can you help

This could come in the form a thank you letter, which can fed back to our donors who truly value the appreciation shown.

Include a reference to our grant in your letters and publicity materials whenever it is appropriate. This might involve writing in your headed notepaper, leaflets or posters, saying:

• “Supported by South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation”
• “We acknowledge the support of South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation” in your Annual Report or your correspondence.

You can download our logo to include on the aforementioned documents or place in the footer of your website. 

Press Releases and Media Publicity

It’s always great to see a community group in a newspaper, online outlets or being invited to speak about the funding you’ve received, on radio or TV.

However before that, they might start writing a press release to send to media contacts and require supporting words from our Chief Executive to enhance your copy, such as Artful Make It Happen in Rotherham who had success their in local paper, the Rotherham Advertiser (below)
