Logo & Recognition

The Victoria Foundation encourages grant recipients to raise awareness about their projects through their community and local media. News releases, newsletters, brochures, websites and advertising are all easy and effective ways that your organization can build profile and understanding about the impact of your work.

When you are ready to promote a project that the Victoria Foundation has funded, we ask that you please acknowledge our support. The purpose of this acknowledgment is to raise awareness of the increasingly important role that philanthropy plays in providing support for community initiatives. By recognizing the Foundation's role in support, the more the message of the importance of philanthropy in the community will become known and understood. This can only benefit the community as a whole.
