How to acknowledge your grant from Mid-America Arts Alliance

The Grantee’s project is underwritten by Mid-America Arts Alliance (M-AAA), which is supported by public, local, state, and federal agencies, as well as private contributors. M-AAA’s ability to raise funds is directly related to the credit acknowledgments provided. Grantees are required to give proper credit in all promotional materials.

M-AAA reserves the right to change the language of the required acknowledgement of support, as well as the right to disallow the use of the logo and acknowledgment of support. Failure to meet these credit requirements will jeopardize future M-AAA support for the Grantee. Copies of printed materials meeting these crediting requirements are required for the Final Report. Crediting language and logos should be removed upon completion of the period of support.

M-AAA and NEA logos are required on all print, digital, and broadcast materials for the funded project.
