Writing outputs and outcomes
We know that identifying outputs and outcomes is often one of the most challenging parts of the grant application process. We've developed guidelines to help with this process.
Acknowledging Barr
Communication Guidelines
We encourage you to announce your grant and, as appropriate, to share important updates, milestones, and impact via your organization’s website, social media, and traditional media outreach. Such communications should focus on your organization, priorities, and/or on those who benefit from your work. If you would like to recognize Barr for its support, review the guidelines below.

Brand Guidelines
Our visual identity is designed to reflect the importance of transparency in our work, and—most importantly—highlight a focus on our partners whose work benefits our greater community.
Download our brand guidelines for guidance on referencing Barr's brand, quick tips for logo use, and instructions on Barr's colors and fonts.
Barr Logo
Below are the file options of Barr’s logo. Before downloading our logo, review the details below to select the version that will best suit your needs:
- Primary logo Barr's primary logo is meant to be used against a white background. This is our preferred logo treatment and works best when you have no space restrictions. Download primary logo
- Stacked logo This option works well when you are working in a small, squared space. Download stacked logo
- Horizontal logo This logo works well for layouts that allow for wider orientations. Download horizontal logo
- Logo for dark backgrounds If you have a situation that will require placing Barr's logo on a dark background, please use these options. Download logo for dark backgrounds
Please adhere to our brand guidelines when using our logo. Please allow at least one icon’s worth of white space around the logo; avoid making any edits to the logo; and always place Barr's logo on a white background.
If you have questions, contact Barr's Communications Team communications[at]barrfoundation.org.
Promoting Your Work
Sharing your photos with us
A picture is worth 1,000 words, especially when it features people from your organization and communities. We encourage you to share high-resolution (at least 1MB in file size) photos with us that we might use to amplify your work through Barr's digital communications.
Before sending us your photos, please ensure you have consent to publish and share them from individuals appearing in the photos, and from the photographer.
We aim to credit your organization and a photographer each time we use your photos. Please include this information in the file name or in the metadata of the photos prior to uploading them to help us with this effort to give credit where it is due.
Writing for the Barr Foundation Blog
Our blog is one of the channels we use to draw positive attention to our partners and their efforts, to share news, and to engage in broader debates about our priority issues. We welcome guest authors to offer their perspectives to advance conversations and deepen engagement.
Audience
Our primary readers are foundation and nonprofit professionals—both from organizations currently receiving funding or collaborating with Barr, and those who may be interested in learning more about opportunities to partner with us. We also reach community leaders and others who are interested in and/or actively engaged in our issues.
If your organization has a story to share, please discuss this with your program officer and they will connect you with one of our communications team members to personally guide you through the process.
