SPONSOR
Giving and sponsorship
How gifts and business sponsorships work, what they pay for, and what they don't.
Does anything renew?
No. Every gift and every sponsorship is a single payment. Nothing is charged again unless you choose to give again.
What does a gift get me on CodeRook?
Your place in the rings on the Sponsor page, and that's all. A gift doesn't buy a plan, storage or features, and it doesn't change how your projects are treated.
Which ring will I be in?
The amount decides it: Friends from US$10, Backers from US$500, Patrons from US$5,000 and Founders from US$15,000. There's no upper limit, and within a ring your mark grows with the gift.
Give again later and your gifts are added together, so your mark can move to an inner ring.
Is a personal gift tax-deductible?
No. CodeRook is run by ACCA Gaming Productions (ABN 80 173 545 848), a business rather than a registered charity, so a gift from an individual can't be claimed as a donation.
Can my business claim a sponsorship?
A business sponsorship pays for one thing: your business name and logo on the Sponsor page wall. That's advertising, and businesses can usually claim advertising as a marketing expense.
You get an invoice in your business's name with our ABN on it, and you can add your own tax number on the payment page. Your accountant can confirm how to treat it for your business.
Where does a sponsor's logo appear?
On the Sponsor page wall only, in the ring the sponsorship reaches. It isn't shown anywhere else on CodeRook.
How do I send my logo or icon?
Use Add a logo or message (or Add an icon or message) on the Sponsor page. Attach your files and tell us anything we should know; we make them into your mark and email you a preview before it goes on the wheel. You can also write to sponsors@coderook.com.
When does my mark appear?
As soon as the payment clears. A business's name and logo are checked first, so a sponsorship can take a little longer. We can decline a logo that breaks the acceptable use policy.
Can I change how I'm shown?
Yes. Email sponsors@coderook.com from the address you gave with and we'll switch you between your account, your business or anonymous. Anonymous gifts show as a plain gold mark, and your name is never shown.
How is the payment handled?
Through Stripe. CodeRook never sees or stores your card details. See Privacy and Subprocessors for who handles what.
