Press kit

A starter press kit.

As a newly registered charity, our v0.1 press kit covers the essentials: high-resolution logo lockups, brand colours, the boilerplate organisation description, founder biography (Maya Okafor, in memoriam), and standard ACNC / DGR registration details.

Imagery and field footage will be added as programs go live and consent-cleared photography is captured. We follow strict safeguarding rules: no identifying images of beneficiary children without explicit written consent from a parent or legal guardian, and we report on outcomes in aggregate, non-identifying terms.

If you need a fact sheet, an interview, or specific reference numbers (ABN, ACNC registration, DGR endorsement date), email press@heartsofhope.org.au and the press desk will turn it around as fast as we can.
