<aside> ℹ️

As long as you follow these guidelines, we don't need to review your announcement.

However, if you'd like us to review something anyway or have a question, please contact grant-publishing@coefficientgiving.org, and we are happy to help! If your announcement is time-sensitive, please note that in your email and subject line.

If you plan to announce your funding publicly, please use the following guidelines:

• Refer to us as “Coefficient Giving”.
• You can use our logo if you want to: files are available here.
• If you want to summarize what Coefficient Giving does, we recommend: “Coefficient Giving is a philanthropic funder and advisor whose mission is to use its resources to help others as much as possible." Some useful numbers and language are available here.
• Please do not refer to us as a foundation. We are a "philanthropic funder and advisor” or “grantmaker”.
• Refer to our “support” or “funding”, not our endorsement or collaboration.
  • Good examples:
    1. "We're proud to announce that Coefficient Giving is supporting our work!”
    2. “We were awarded $100,000 from Coefficient Giving for our program.”
  • Bad examples:
    1. “Coefficient Giving endorsed our mission to prevent pandemics.”
    2. “Coefficient Giving gave our work a big thumbs-up with their latest grant."
    3. "We're working with Coefficient Giving to improve the lives of animals."
  1. Exception:
     1. It's fine to discuss collaboration if you are actually working with us directly (e.g., working on research alongside some of our staff).
• Scholarship and individual grant recipients: Please do not list Coefficient Giving as your employer on LinkedIn.
  • Good alternatives include:
    1. Listing a self-employed position (e.g., “freelance researcher”) and adding your funding to the description.
    2. Adding a note on your funding/fellowship to an educational experience.
    3. Using the “Honors and Awards” section of your profile.
  • Sample wording (anything along these lines is fine):
    1. “Funded by Coefficient Giving as part of its [fund name] program.”
    2. “Awarded funding from Coefficient Giving to pursue a degree in X at Y university.”
    3. “Named a [name of fellowship] Fellow by Coefficient Giving.” (Century Fellow, University Organizer Fellow, etc.)
