Acknowledging your National Lottery grant - Quick Guide

Congratulations on receiving National Lottery funding through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

Your grant is possible thanks to National Lottery Players.

It is one of your conditions of grant that you acknowledge your National Lottery funding.

The principal way to do this is by including the Arts Council National Lottery logo on all promotional material relating to your grant, including website and social media posts.

• The logo should be displayed in a prominent position on all related promotional materials, such as: websites, ‘pop-up’ stands, adverts, digital marketing, signage, posters and flyers.

In addition to displaying the logo, there may be other ways that you will be able to acknowledge your funding.

• Press releases: include the line, ‘Supported by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’. You could also ask the Arts Council for a quote to endorse your project.
• Social Media: include the tags #ACNISupported #NationalLottery #ThanksToYou and @LottoGoodCauses.
• Interviews: always state your National Lottery funding.
• Launch events: invite an Arts Council representative to speak.
• Photo opportunities: include an Arts Council representative.
• Event Programmes: include a foreword from the Arts Council.

Please remember …

• The Arts Council National Lottery logo tells the public that their money is supporting your work and the Arts. Please use it!
• We know you are doing amazing things with money raised by National Lottery players. It is important that you share the good news with the players.
• Please do remember to say “thanks to National Lottery players and money raised for good causes …”.
