Brand and Media Toolkit

To help maintain a consistent and professional look, please follow these guidelines when using our logo or the logo of any fund managed by the Western Colorado Community Foundation:

• Use all logos exactly as provided, without stretching, recoloring, or altering fonts, proportions, or clarity.
• Leave adequate clear space around the logo so it stands out and remains easy to read.
• Avoid placing logos on busy or low-contrast backgrounds.
• Choose the version that provides the best visibility for your materials.

When acknowledging your grant or partnership, please use your organization’s logo alongside the WCCF logo — and, when applicable, the logo of the specific fund from which your grant was awarded.

• Fund logos are available in the downloads section on the left side of this page.
• Please note: grantees may not alter the appearance (color, fonts, layout, or proportions) of WCCF’s logo or any fund logo in any way.

If you’re unsure which logo format or fund logo to use, please contact rsmith@wc-cf.org  — we’re happy to help ensure your materials look their best.
