Help promote the Luverne Area Community Foundation
|
We ask that you promote the Foundation's support in any interview or publication your project may receive. We also ask that appropriate visual signage is attached to the project recognizing the foundations partnership with your organization and its project. This helps others connect with what the foundation can do for potential future projects. If we can help provide logos or graphics to make this possible, please ask us, we are happy to help!
