Seed donors are people who give at the very start of your campaign.

E Tū Toi is Boosted’s Māori match-funding initiative, focused on providing funding opportunities to ringatoi Māori across Aotearoa.

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.
