Funding Acknowledgement

Third-party organizations are required to acknowledge the Province of British Columbia’s funding contributions. This applies to all initiatives funded under EmbraceBC.

There are different logos to be used by third-party organizations for produced communications materials that are provincially funded and those that are a combination of provincial-federal funding as outlined in the Funding Acknowledgement Guidelines. Your contract manager will inform you which logo to use and to answer any questions that you may have.

To receive approval for the use of the EmbraceBC and Canada Logos, you must first fill in and submit the Application for Third Party Use of BC ID and provide a sample of the materials with the logos already placed.
