Define your own environment or macro.
That's what I do in these cases.
For instance something like



\def\beginsmallprint#1{\small\medskip\noindent\textbf{#1}\ \it}
\def\endsmallprint{\par\normalsize\normalfont}


in the preamble, and then, at the end:


\beginsmallprint{Acknowledgements:}
This paper was partly written during a joint visit of the first
two authors  to the Department of Mathematical
Sciences, World University, and during a visit
(supported by the WRLDU project XYZ) of the seventy-fifth
author to the Fakult\"at f\"ur Mathematik,
Technische Universit\"at der Welt.
The authors thank these institutions for their hospitality.
\endsmallprint

\endsmallprint


It is a bit of a hack and there are better solutions,
but this serves the purpose.
