Marketing and Public Relations and Evaluation Requirements
Organizations receiving grants from the Community Foundation of Middlesex County must promote their funding
awards according to the marketing and public relations guidelines established by the Community Foundation. The Community Foundation will host a seminar on marketing
guidelines and tips for grantees annually. The Community Foundation’s Grantee Communications Kit may be
downloaded on our website in the Nonprofit Resources section, middlesexcountycf.org/nonprofits/resources/forms-pr-guidelines/.
Furthermore, all CFMC grantees are required to submit a final evaluation regarding the use of CFMC funding and the outcomes, achievements, and results such funding supported. The evaluation requirements include qualitative and quantitative information, photos, stories, and examples of public acknowledgement of the award.

public relations requirements and evaluation requirements if awarded a grant.
