Make a big impact
Have you informed the brand manager at Big Lottery Fund if you are planning grant acknowledgement of an award over £500,000?
Your time to shine
Have you planned how you will acknowledge your grant? You can order some items using the order form in your next big steps pack. If you received funding for a capital-build project have you discussed grant acknowledgement with your architect?
Step into the spotlight
Have you let our marketing team know about any events or openings you are having? They can offer help and advice, and supply you with some free merchandise. This is especially important if you are having high profile people or press attending. Contact them at marketing@biglotteryfund.org.uk.
