Use of the Foundation's name and logo (other than on the Foundation's stationery and approved forms, and in the text of routine correspondence and documents) must be approved in advance. The clearing point for such permissions is Joan Barlow, design manager, in the Communications Department's Production Unit. She, in turn, will be responsible for informing and involving other staff as appropriate.
 
If you are requesting logo usage for news releases and public relations, please contact the Media Relations Office at media@rwjf.org. 

Policy for Use of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation® (RWJF) Name and Logo
The name, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the logo, and variations in type treatment of the Foundation name, are property of the Foundation, including their use on such items as printed literature, signage, three-dimensional exhibits and displays, publications, interactive media, Web sites, sponsored program literature and signage, joint publications, letterhead, news releases or announcements.

Permission to use the Foundation's name and/or logo is in sole discretion of RWJF based on such factors as the purpose for use and relationship being represented. All requests for permission to use the RWJF logo must be submitted to Joan Barlow of the Production Unit of the Communications Office. Requests may be sent to permissions@rwjf.org. If permission is granted, the logo must be reproduced in its approved colors and formats as outlined in the RWJF Visual Identity Guidelines manual. Instructions will be provided along with the appropriate files upon approval of request.

Process for Logo Requests:

• Original request is made in writing to the Production Unit. E-mail requests may be sent to permissions@rwjf.org.
• Request is reviewed and processed by the Production Unit.
• Special circumstances may require approval by the vice president, Communications or the Office of General Counsel.
• Please note: Requests for logo use on news releases should be directed to Adam Coyne, director of Media Relations, at acoyne@rwjf.org.

 
Use in Text Applications
In text documents the name—Robert Wood Johnson Foundation—may be presented in different fonts and point sizes as long as each word is capitalized. The article "the" when used in front of the name is capitalized only at the beginning of a sentence. It is necessary to use the registration mark at the end of the name in its first or most prominent appearance in the document. Subsequent appearances do not require the registration mark.

Linking           
RWJF encourages grantees and other organizations to link to the Foundation's Web site (www.rwjf.org). Use of the Foundation's logo as part of that link requires permission from the Production Unit. In general, permission will be granted providing the logo is positioned solely as part of the link and in no way indicates a larger relationship between the Foundation and the site.
