Thank You Day
27 April 2023 - Help us help more people like you
Rocketspark doing good
When we founded Rocketspark we wanted to use our tools for good. We’re not a large business but over the years we have given away hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of websites and countless hours of support to all kinds of not-for-profit ventures and adventures.
We’ve helped small community groups, rural charities, faith-based organisations, councils, sports clubs, athletes, fundraisers, women’s refuges, international mission organisations, aged care services, children’s services, animal welfare organisations, environmental and sustainability organisations, social care groups, RSAs, chambers of commerce, charitable trusts, youth camps, beekeeping associations, cultural associations, garden clubs, ratepayers associations, and many, many more.
Our criteria for the organisations we support is broad with the general rule of thumb being does this person or organisation make the world a better place. This broad rule can encompass people at the front lines of child poverty, a sports club that creates community or an athlete who inspires and entertains.
Grant Johnson, Rocketspark CEO
We fund this support of not-for-profit organisations and individuals by selling websites to businesses. To help us to support more people when we provide support we ask for a few little favours in return to help us spread the word about Rocketspark.

FAQ's
Why do you ask for this return support?
We don’t want you to feel obligated but we would greatly value any exposure and recommendations you can give to Rocketspark. We are a small New Zealand self-funded company and we don’t have the big marketing budgets that our bigger competitors do and if you can help spread the word about Rocketspark we can accelerate our generosity as more businesses use Rocketspark to design their websites.
Do I have to do it?
Absolutely not, we are happy to support good people doing good things whether or not you help us out. We would love you to spread the word about Rocketspark, these suggestions don’t cost you anything and are an easy way to return a favour. We also recognise that with some of the organisations we support it just wouldn’t be right to have sponsor logos and social media mentions.
Will it affect ongoing Rocketspark support if I don’t do it?
No, not at all. We said yes to supporting you because of what you are doing to make the world a better place. If you can help us accelerate our generosity we can all achieve more.
Why Rocketspark Thank You Day?
Most of our business growth comes from word of mouth referrals and we do limited marketing. We are hoping for a bigger impact and audience from the collective impact of multiple organisations combining to mention Rocketspark on social media.
What if I can’t post a message on Rocketspark Thank You Day?
That is no problem at all, if you are happy to support and can do another date that would be great.
