A campaign video is key to connecting with your crowd. People want to join you on your journey. The reason that people donate is that they want to engage with you and what you are doing. It really helps, when they can see the real people behind the scenes.

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.

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.
