Logo and Branding

Whenever possible, grantees should use the full color, horizontal version of the GitLab Foundation logo. This is our preferred way to be recognized.

Please refer to us as ‘the GitLab Foundation’ rather than just ‘GitLab Foundation’ and use the “About” language above to describe us. Please see more information about our logos and branding in our style guide, where brand assets can be downloaded.

Social Media

The GitLab Foundation has several social media handles you can use to promote the grant announcement. Please note that we primarily use LinkedIn. Feel free to tag us, and please provide us with your own social media handles so that we can support you.

Media Inquiries

If there are any media inquiries around the funded work, please contact your Program Officer to assist in coordinating those efforts.
