Boosted is hitting the road!

We’re taking our crowdfunding workshops to the regions with The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi and you’re invited! We’d love for you to join us in Heretaunga Hastings.

What is Boosted?

Boosted is Aotearoa New Zealand’s only crowdfunding platform dedicated to the arts and creativity. We’re here to bring creatives and supporters together to grow creativity. With our mentored approach to crowdfunding, we have one of the world's highest crowdfunding success rates and our team of dedicated creatives are here to help you throughout the entire funding process.

Fundraising with Boosted gives a hands-on crash course in community building, content creation, prospecting, event organisation and marketing. Since 2013, Boosted has helped over 1,200 artists and creatives raise a combined $8.8 million for their projects with over 80,000 donations processed through the Boosted platform.

The workshop details

We’ve jumped on board the All In For Arts tour with The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi, and are taking our free-for-all, interactive fundraising workshop around Aotearoa.

The workshop will be run by a Boosted mentor, covering everything you need to know from start to finish of running a crowdfunding campaign with Boosted. You don’t need to prepare anything, just come along to see if Boosted is right for you and how you can raise funds for your creative mahi. Everyone is welcome!

This September, we’ll also be heading to Maruawai Gore, Wānaka, Ōamaru, Māwhera Greymouth, Ōtaki, Whanganui, Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa Gisborne, Rotorua and Kerikeri.

Keep up with us on social media as we’ll also be running workshops in these locations before the end of the year: Waihōpai Invercargill, Waiwhakaata Arrowtown, Ōtepoti Dunedin, Hakatere Ashburton, Whakatū Nelson, Wairarapa, Taranaki, Tauranga and Whangārei.

Are you an early riser?

The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi will be hosting a free breakfast from 7.30am at Hastings City Art Gallery before this workshop. You’ll hear stories from well-known members of your community about the impact the arts are having on everyday life and illuminate the value of the arts to Aotearoa New Zealand.

Calling all arts lovers and unlikely arts lovers! It’s the breakfast to go to to turn the lightbulb on creativity and help spur your project ideas. Head over to the event here for more detail.
