Tēnā Koutou,

We’re excited to be hosting our Canterbury Grants Function this year on Thursday 16 September 2021 at the Great Hall - Christchurch Arts Centre, 2 Worcester Street from 5.30 to 7.00 pm.

It has been a milestone year for Rātā Foundation – with us celebrating over half a billion dollars of funding across our regions – Canterbury, Nelson, Marlborough, and the Chatham Islands - over the last 33 years.

The delivery of our Annual Review highlights will again be “virtual” this year – you will receive a copy of our Special Edition on Wednesday 8 September, which will provide all the highlights from the past financial year and a link to our 2020/2021 annual audited accounts.

At Rātā, it’s always the community who drive our mahi, and we always welcome any chance we get to focus more on engaging and connecting face-to-face with our stakeholders. The Grants Function is our opportunity to thank you for your exceptional mahi, and celebrate and share all the great things happening in our community!

RSVP: For catering purposes, please RSVP by Wednesday 8 September. Seats are limited. Please Note: As the Great Hall has native timber flooring, we cannot allow stiletto heels to be worn inside as they will cause damage. All other high heels are fine.

We look forward to seeing you.

Ngā mihi nui,

Leighton Evans

Chief Executive
