Photos, Graphics, Quotes, and More

We strive to authentically tell the stories of our grantmaking by working with our partners to amplify their work through various communication channels. To that effect, we require consent to use content shared with us by our partners through a release. This includes photos, graphics, and quotes. Many partners may already have their own release; however, to ensure Ascendium can use the content without needing an additional release from us, we offer the following sample language to enhance a partner’s release.

“For good and valuable consideration, [insert name of your organization] and/or any third parties with whom [insert name of your organization] shares, have my permission to use the photograph(s), electronic image(s), video(s), or voice recording(s) (“Content”) in their advertising, publicity, articles, news releases, social media channels, or other business-related materials, both print and electronic.”
