Story

How Boosted Works:

When the project hits its financial target inside its time limit, the artist gets the money (less our 10% admin fee to help keep the site running) and the Boosters get a tax credit (33% for donations $5 and up) - and that warm feeling that only comes from helping someone challenge our thinking through creating art.

Along the way, Boosted gives backers the opportunity to get involved with the art as its made too… so expect to hear about rehearsals, studio visits and all sorts of other experiences from the projects you choose to Boost.

And if the project doesn't hit its target in time? We return your donation (with no fees charged) and we see how we can help the artist to give it another go. (We're what you call an all-or-nothing crowdfunding platform.)

Boosting a project is easy. Choose a project and click on DONATE. You can even do it anonymously if you like, but we'd like to think that seeing your name and smiling face next to a project will make people want to join you in supporting it. Whether you choose to fly below the radar or not, the amount you choose to donate will never be published.

Mission

Art is hard. So we've tried hard to make the money bit simple. Once an artist has an idea that needs money to bring it to life, they list it on Boosted with a clear financial target. If someone likes the look of the project, they can boost it and donate as little or as much as they like.
