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.

Tali Enjalas Jenkinson makes music under the name Vallé. The rapper spent the first few months of his life in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea and moved to Aoteoaroa New Zealand with his father for life-saving medical treatment when he was just eight months old. Vallé is now based in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

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.

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.
