Your program is important and worthy of media attention.

To help you communicate the impact of your work, we have provided a Grant Recipient Media Kit.

DED is always interested in capturing the stories of our grantees. Telling your story helps to tell our story and communicate to Nebraskans the importance of supporting projects like yours. We often feature stories of our grantees in our marketing efforts. If you have a story that you would like to share, please contact your program manager.

The following materials are intended for the use of DED grantees and will help you get the recognition your project and organization deserve. Here are some suggested ways to announce your project’s grant award:
