The Foundation logo is a conflation of significant elements of Matt’s life. The colour black signifies his proud New Zealand and Māori heritage and national team.
Matt's partner Su, determined to see Matt's legacy live on, has named us "The Matt Ratana Rugby Foundation".
Whānau (Māori pronunciation: [ˈfaːnaʉ]) is a Māori-language word for extended family. . A concept that Matt lived his life by, and a philosophy he instilled in others.
Thank you to our friends at JP Illustrations who designed the artwork for our logo.
