Welcome, BHS Impact Fund grantees! We are pleased to make the following communications resources available for your use as a grantee. We encourage you to share the announcement of and ongoing updates about your grant award and your role as a BHS grantee.
To ensure the information our community receives about our department and the Impact Fund Grant is consistent, we ask that you please refer to the following:
Any time you share information about your grant-funded work, tag us! We'd love to share the content as part of our greater effort to tell the collective impact of our work together.
As a visible part of Larimer County’s behavioral health system, the department fields requests to use its position in the community to amplify information from grantees and other partners. Our team cannot feasibly say “yes” to everyone. By doing so, our channels would become a cluttered bulletin board, and we would run the risk of our audience tuning out. These content-sharing guidelines are designed to complement the department’s communications strategy plan, as well as the overall BHS 2026-2030 Strategic Plan.

| Format and Quality | • High-resolution images/flyers that may be used in their original format or formatted to meet BHS design standards. • Clear, concise text copy with a direct registration/info link. | • Blurry screenshots, text-heavy PDFs, or requests lacking a destination link (e.g., "Just post this flyer"). |
Not all approved content belongs on all BHS channels. Once a request passes the vetting matrix, route it using these rules:
