Boost Ōtautahi is back for 2024! Thanks to the Arts Foundation, Rātā Foundation and Creative NZ, there are 11 opportunities for creative organisations in Ōtautahi to secure $5,000 of match funding towards a crowdfunding campaign.
Boost Ōtautahi is a campaign where 11 diverse arts organisations will launch in unison, crowdfunding for a month on Boosted to get the funding to complete a creative project.
We want the Ōtautahi arts community to thrive with an abundance of support and celebration, and for the broader community to be involved in this experience.
The Boosted team helping artists and organisations grow their crowd and their capability through crowdfunding. Along with the crowdfunding mentorship, the Boosted team will be running a workshop with all the artists/arts organisations involved in Boost Ōtautahi, organising a launch event to be held at The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora, and helping to build energy and hype around Boost Ōtautahi through marketing channels.
This year, each of the 11 organisations will be backed with a Boost Ōtautahi match fund that is unlocked dollar for dollar as they reach out to their crowd with their ask.
On 25 September the big Boost Ōtautahi community event is held at the Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora!
