ACC clarifies grant acknowledgement language and emphasizes limited program budget

May 4, 2026

Staff and commissioners agreed to provide standard acknowledgement text and downloadable logo assets for grantees; commissioners were reminded the commission has limited discretionary funds and that grant awards are the commission's primary funding mechanism (example: $75,000 to Foothills Art Center).

The full story

Commissioners reviewed the language used in grant award letters and discussed whether to require specific acknowledgement wording from grantees. Staff recommended hosting pre-approved acknowledgement language and logo assets (PDF/JPEG) on the website so awardees can easily comply; commissioners agreed this approach and asked staff to prepare standard text and downloadable files.
