Learn how to budget smart and boost your crowd with Boosted and The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi.
How to Boosted and Budget is a 2-for-1 upskilling workshop delivered by The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi and Boosted as part of Te Pou Theatre’s Whakapuāwai programme.
In this session, Boosted 101 will guide you through the essentials of crowdfunding—what Boosted is, how it works, and the key steps to building a successful campaign. From getting your project campaign-ready to creating momentum and engaging your community, you’ll gain practical tools to bring your idea to life. We’ll also introduce match funding initiatives, Boosted X Moana and E Tū Toi, and how they can help maximise your fundraising efforts.
Alongside this, the workshop explores budgeting as a core part of your funding strategy. Crowdfunding can help cover shortfalls, respond to unexpected costs, or generate seed funding to get started. You’ll learn how to break your budget into manageable steps and better understand how crowdfunding fits into the wider funding puzzle, and equipping you with the confidence to plan, fund, and deliver your creative projects.
