Together with Creative New Zealand, Boosted launched the Boosted X Moana campaign on Thursday 8 October 2020. For a month, Pasifika arts projects became the focus of Boosted, with fifteen creative projects receiving a meaalofa match fund to kickstart their crowdfunding endeavour.

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.

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.

Match donors build momentum, add credibility, create hype, and increase your chance of success.
