Tell your story

Does your organization work to serve the lives, dignity and rights
of poor and vulnerable people? Does it work towards creating jobs, developing skills, supporting entrepreneurship, fostering respect, building community?
Does it provide solutions to any of the myriad problems experienced
as a result of marginalization — whether caused by poverty, disability,
age, illness, gender, race or geographic location?

There are three ways in which you can tell your story in ZA Difference:

1. Paid advertising / advertorial.
Ideal CSI exposure. Book the space and tell it any way you like, across as many pages as you are willing to pay for. Click here to view rates. Non-governmental NPOs qualify for a 50% discount.

2. Submit an article in the required format and get paid for your contribution.
Write an article that tells the real-life story of the people you serve, providing insight into a problem or situation that is faced by many people or communities. The main article may not refer to your organization. The article must include a ‘resource box’ that offers:

• Practical steps to solve the problem/s discussed in the article.
• Resources and information available to solve the problem — preferably offline.
• Organisations (your own and others) that provide relief, plus their contact information.
• Information about how people can replicate your successes.

Done in this way — without branding — we can use and pay you for the article and any accompanying photographs and captions, in the same way that we would do for any other published contribution. See Join the conversation!

3. Stick to our format, but brand the material.
For a fee of R8 000 and proof of a current, one-year subscription to the magazine, your organisation’s logo, name, slogan and contact details can be displayed at the end of the resource box, with a note: ‘This article / information was supplied by ... ‘ In this case, we would not pay for the article or photos. (Compare to R5 000 minimum ‘donation’ for a page sponsorship.) No discounts. Not open to commercial organisations.

In all instances, the author will be credited. All other conditions of submission to ZA Difference apply. See Join the conversation!

A Press Release is not one of the ways in which you can tell your story in ZA Difference.

You can also list your organisation’s offering in our Resource Directory — see below. Listings are free to subscribing non-governmental NPOs.

List your offering in the Resource Directory. — the ONLY printed directory of poverty relief services in South Africa.

Use it to tell the 90% of South Africans who do not have meaningful, sustained access to the web — where most of this information is usually available — how to access your CSI, NPO, community, municipal or government programmes and offerings.

Listings are available for public offerings that are either free, cost very little or for which support is offered so that marginalised individuals can participate ... or take action that will lead to a solution to their particular problem.

Listings are free to non-governmental NPOs that subscribe to the magazine. You may list in these pages as often as you like during your subscription period. All other listings, i.e. commercial or municipal, are charged at R244 per column x cm. Inclusion of a small logo (no wider than the column), for any organisation, is charged at R3 000. All listings are subject to the Editor’s approval.

To get started: Simply e-mail your finished listing to advertising@zadifference.org
Please indicate from which month to which month the listing should appear. If approved
for placement, we will edit and typeset the listing for you. You will receive a proof of the typeset listing, along with a quotation based on R244 per column x cm.
Once we receive your signed approval, you will be invoiced — unless, of course,
you are a non-governmental NPO. Proof of payment or of paid subscription is required before listing is placed.
