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.

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.

Boosted X Moana is an initiative that is dedicated to the work of Pasifika creatives.

Before you start planning your crowdfunding campaign you need to know a few important things, like... · What’s my funding target?· How many people do I need to give?· How many people do I need to ask to give?· How often should I ask them?· How long should my campaign be?· When should I run my campaign? Luckily, we can help you answer these questions.
