VCA and NEA Funding Credit and Logos – Virginia Commission for the Arts

The purpose of crediting the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts is to provide citizens with an accurate picture of the broad range of arts activities supported by their tax dollars. Additionally, this acknowledgement serves as an endorsement for the organization and its activity and often leverages additional support.

All print and digital material related to the funded activities must include appropriate acknowledgement of the proper funding entities (VCA only or VCA + NEA). This encompasses websites, social media posts, programs, newsletters (both print and online), educational materials, brochures, posters, news releases, catalogues, videos, as well as mentions in curtain speeches and other special events. However, as neither agency funds expenses related to fundraisers, logos/recognition should not be included in such related materials.

VCA grantees are required to acknowledge funding support in accordance with the specific credit requirements of each grant program:
