Autism License Plate Marketing Section

The funds available through this grants process are generated through the sale of the Florida “Support Autism Programs” specialty license plates. Marketing outreach and communication help support our efforts to raise awareness and increase funding available for autism services. The following provisions and requirements are related to these efforts.

Funder Recognition

The Recipient of ASGC funds shall actively publicize and support the work of the ASGC through name and logo inclusion on all funded program materials, client and parent information and forms, banner displays and recognition in Annual Reports, newsletters and other forms of agency and/or program promotion. Recipient staff working in ASGC-funded programs shall be made aware of ASGC support through agency orientation sessions, staff meetings, and other employee communication strategies. Recipients of ASGC funds will also receive a “Press Kit” with templates for press releases, face book and twitter postings as well as other marketing materials which they will agree to use in the promotion of the Florida “Support Autism Programs” specialty license plate and the ASGC. Evidence of these efforts may be a factor in future ASGC funding recommendations.
