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 is not about you. It’s about the community around what you do. Your crowd. And there’s a difference between your audience and your crowd. Your crowd are the people personally, financially, and emotionally invested in you successfully completing your art project. They’re with you for the journey. They’re with you for your career.

This year’s opportunity for match funding has now officially closed. If you missed out this round, keep an eye on boosted.org.nz and our social media channels for future funding opportunities and upcoming regional initiatives.

Preparing to run a crowdfunding campaign can feel daunting but Aotearoa New Zealand’s only arts crowdfunding platform, Boosted, is here to guide you through the entire process.
