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.

Māpura Studios is a creative space and art therapy centre in central Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau. The project works with over 200 adults and children every week, offering art classes and art therapy programmes for people living with disability and diversity. The studio is also the only organisation that is contracted to deliver art therapy programmes to inmates at Auckland Prison – changing paths and making an impact through art and creativity.

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.

October 2022 was the month of the Moana on Boosted. Twenty Pasifika projects crowdfunded with the support of Creative New Zealand as part of the Boosted X Moana initiative. These projects were live for funding from 20 October until 17 November. See the Boosted X Moana projects here.
