In addition to the logo and credit line, any printed list of contributors to an organization or program funded by this grant should include the “Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture”.
Grantees are also encouraged to use the Department of Arts and Culture's handles and hashtags when posting on digital and social media about receiving this CIAG grant and any activities supported by the CIAG program: @LACountyArts #LACountyArts.

Grantees are required to send one letter from your executive director, board chair, or both, thanking the Board of Supervisors for the grant and providing details regarding your CIAG project and its impact in your community.
The letter of acknowledgement must be sent to the Board of Supervisors at the beginning of the grant period and no later than December 31.
