ShareA refresh perspective for Rātā Foundation.
As the largest philanthropic organisation in the South Island, Rātā Foundation has made a significant impact by granting more than $550 million to local communities in the past three decades, contributing to substantial positive social change.
Throughout our decade-long partnership with Rātā Foundation, we have played a crucial role in the evolution of their online presence, recognising the pivotal role that digital platforms play in giving both insight into their grant-making decisions and telling stories of community impact.
Formerly known as the Canterbury Community Trust, Rātā holds in trust for the community, a pūtea of over half a billion dollars. This pūtea, allows Rātā to invest $20 million per annum, in the communities of its four funding regions.
After rebranding to Rātā Foundation in 2015, a new focus on engaging with communities to fund initiatives that makes the most difference, has become central to Rātā’s purpose. Looking for more equitable and sustainable outcomes across the community in order to better reflect their strategic vision and core beliefs.
Having worked with Rātā since 2013, we continue to support and provide strategic, design and development services which enable them to communicate effectively with their diverse community audience.
Leveraging new imagery and brand elements has allowed us to extend Rātā’s profile of community giving through heartfelt stories showcasing the positive impact the Rātā Foundation has had on so many individuals and community groups.
