Boosted How To Guides
Planning your content
A crowdfunding campaign needs a ton of content. For the 30 or so days of funding, you’ll be coaxing, cajoling and flirting with your crowd, asking for money, and you’ve got to come up with a fresh way to ask every day. You’ve got to keep it interesting, enticing and exciting.

Lads
Hi everyone!Thanks so much to each and every one of you for your generous donations, love and support so far. We're so grateful for you!We still have a fair way to go to reach out target, and need your help to get there. Boosted runs on an 'all or nothing' approach, so if the target isn't reached by the closing date, all funds are returned to donors. In other words...the stakes couldn't be higher!So for our final stretch, we'd love it if you could share our campaign link with anyone you think would resonate with LADS. This story is so special to our team, and we promise you that the results will be well worth it.Let's go!Full Project Update -

Bringing Bali Artists to Wellington
Originally we had applied for funding from the Ministry for Culture in Jakarta to bring 18 professional musicians and dancers from Mekar Bhuana but were unfortunately turned down at the last minute, leaving us little time to look at fundraising options for such a large troupe. So we aimed to bring just two artists but all our sponsorship proposals were declined, perhaps because it was coming to the end of the year. We had already paid for air tickets and visas, and we were too busy rehearsing and preparing our presentations and workshops to set up a crowdfunding campaign. So here we our now asking for communal assistance from all our supporters around the world!Full Project Update -
