Communications guidance for grant-holders
The Foundation is keen to publicise and share the ideas
and experience that emerge the work it funds. Here is a short list of our hopes andexpectations in terms of communication matters for funded projects. Please do contact
the Communications and Research Officer, Harriet Lowe (harriet.lowe@ing.com), if you
need further guidance or have a particular concern not mentioned here.
Acknowledging your grant
You are welcome to acknowledge your grant, e.g. on social media, but it is not arequirement. Please wait until you have returned your grant acceptance form to do so as
this gives us time to list grants on our website!
Reports, evaluations, videos and other materials
Please do send us copies of reports and other materials we have supported before
publication. We would like to disseminate them through our website and networks.
In certain circumstances, we will wish to approve the final version of a report or othermaterial before publication. If this is the case, we will tell you when your grant is awarded. If
you have any questions about our role prior to publication, please contact Harriet Lowe.
Please see below for how to acknowledge the Foundation and use our logo.
Events, launches
Please do let us know about any events you organise in relation to the work we aresupporting. We can, for example, help advertise through our networks and join social media
activity on the day.
Media coverage
Please do let us know if you are planning media coverage and inform us about publicity
received. We are happy to provide quotes for inclusion in press releases, if it is useful to you.
Please include the following paragraph in the Notes to Editors:“The Baring Foundation is an independent grant-giving foundation which protects andadvances human rights and promotes inclusion.”
Acknowledgement, disclaimer and logos
Please acknowledge the Foundation’s support in all printed, electronic and other materials
funded with our support, unless agreed otherwise. This includes: reports, leaflets and flyers,websites, videos, training materials, conference programmes etc.

Our logo is available in different formats. Please contact Harriet Lowe to request the format
you need.
•The logo should be printed in colour wherever possible. It can be printed in black andwhite if you are only printing in greyscale.

•We prefer the logo to be on the back cover of reports. The front cover or inside front
cover are also acceptable, for example, if space is limited.

For more guidance on how to use our logo, some short guidelines are available here:
