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

We encourage you to announce your grant and to share important updates, milestones, and impact via your organization’s website, social media, and traditional media outreach. These 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, here are some resources.

If you have questions about acknowledging Barr, please contact Barr’s Communications Team. 

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. 

1. 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.
2. Barr’s stacked logo works well when you are working in a small, squared space.
3. Barr’s horizontal logo works well for layouts that allow for wider orientations.
4. Barr’s reverse logo works well on dark backgrounds.

Share 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 photos with us that we might use to amplify your work through Barr’s digital communications.

Before sending us your photos:

• Ensure you have consent to share the photos from the people appearing in the photos and from the photographer  
• Gather information like the photographer name, event name and date, and a brief description so we can give credit where credit is due  

How to send:

• Upload photos and credits via a sharing service like Dropbox, WeTransfer, or Google Drive and send a link to the communications team. Feel free to send multiple links.

If you’re having trouble, reach out—we’re here to help! 

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. 

Often, grantees will write about their work, learnings, or share new research. We encourage guest authors to review the Guest Blog Guidelines for guidance.
