Acknowledging Your Grant

We often hear from organisations who want to acknowledge our funding. 

Acknowledging your grant is a great way of showing that your programmes and projects align with Rātā Foundation’s funding priorities. You can acknowledge Rātā Foundation’s support in the following ways: 

Displaying our logo

The Rātā Foundation logo can be used in a variety of places: 

• Display our logo on building plaques and signage, and vehicles

• Include our logo on promotional and printed materials relating to your project, programme or service, such as posters, newsletters, programmes, educational materials, and annual reports

• Display our logo on your website and link back to our homepage: www.ratafoundation.org.nz

• Display our logo on event signage. We also have branded banners available for community organisations to use - please contact enquiry@ratafoundation.org.nz. 

Social media

We love to celebrate the incredible mahi happening across our communities. To help us follow your journey and amplify the impact of your project, we encourage you to:

Follow Rātā Foundation on Facebook

Follow Rātā Foundation on LinkedIn

Tag Rātā Foundation when you share posts about your grant, events, or project milestones.

We really enjoy seeing the progress you’re making and the difference you’re creating. By connecting with us on socials, we can help to highlight your achievements and share your story.

Media and public relations activity

Media coverage is an essential part of promoting your project and acknowledging your grant. Real people and topical issues create the most interesting media content.

• Please contact our Communications Advisor before you make a public statement or issue a media release about work we have funded.

• Please do not use our name before you have been formally notified you have received a grant.

• Also keep us updated of any further media activities that refer to important stages in your project, as there may be opportunities for us to collaborate or amplify your communications efforts on our channels. 

Recognition at Events and Openings

As well as using our banners and logo on printed materials and presentations, we encourage you to acknowledge your grant in any speeches or presentations at your event, or when you explain what your project has achieved.

Please let us know ahead of time when your event is taking place and invite our representatives to attend. Where appropriate, we are happy to give supportive speeches to help support your event.
