Crowdfunding can be daunting, we know. That’s why we found a seasoned Boosted alumni that can give the inspiration, encouragement and words of wisdom that you may need to start your Boosted journey.

Events can raise awareness of your campaign, raise money, reward your core crowd and create opportunities for media coverage.But they can be time-consuming to organise, so if you can piggyback on existing events where you can make an ask, or have a supporter ask for you, even better.

A crowdfunding campaign needs a ton of content. For the 30 or so days of funding, you’ll be coaxing, cajoling and flirting with your crowd, asking for money, and you’ve got to come up with a fresh way to ask every day. You’ve got to keep it interesting, enticing and exciting.

Happy holidays, Boosted whānau.What a ride this year has been! In the spirit of this season the Boosted and Te Tumu Toi whānau are sending out a big dose of gratitude.
