Outreach FAQs

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in implementing the outreach statements on applicable materials. A reminder that the nondiscrimination policy must be used on all materials. The language accessibility and reasonable accommodation statement should be used when the opportunity exists for us to provide these services, such as at events and programming. When there is a publication, or an impact report, these statements are not needed. If you have questions about when and how to use the statements, please email Cassandra Salazar, Extension community and staff engagement administrator, at salaza14@purdue.edu.

Q: Can statements can be combined to fit better on my flyer?
A: No, statements cannot be combined. Please use them exactly as they were shared.

Q: When can I use the condensed version of the nondiscrimination statement?
A: The condensed version can be used only on materials that are postcard-size or smaller.

Q: Can the statements be edited?
A: No, the statements cannot be edited — with the exception of contact information. These statements were very carefully created and approved by multiple departments at USDA and Purdue University. It is important that we use them directly as shared.

Q: Do statements need to be included on each social media post?
A: No. These statements should be included in the account information section (e.g. Facebook-details, Instagram-bio). There has been a website created with these statements due to the limited space available. This link should only be used for social media.

Q: Must the name and contact information always be included on these language accessibility and reasonable accommodation statements?
A: Yes. Name and contact information is mandatory on the statements.

Q: Does Master Gardener need to use the outreach statements?
A: Purdue Extension Master Gardener must always use these statements for outreach. The 501(c)(3)s must also use the statements if they are using Purdue branding.

Q: What font and colors should I use when creating marketing materials in Canva?
A: Please follow these branding guidelines when creating print and/or digital materials. The linked guidelines also apply to faculty and staff.
