AfriArtsConnect x Thundafund: Crowdfunding for the Arts

AfriArtsConnect is proud to partner with Thundafund, one of Africa’s leading rewards-based crowdfunding platforms, to bring artists across the continent an exciting opportunity to turn their creative visions into reality.

Starting 30 September 2025, this free online course will guide participants step-by-step through launching and running a successful crowdfunding campaign for an arts-based project, programme, production, or initiative. Whether you’re a theatre-maker, dancer, musician, visual artist, educator or involved in community arts outreach — this course is for you.

Thundafund has helped raise millions of rands for African creatives, changemakers and entrepreneurs. With toolkits, mentorship and practical support, they empower campaigners to connect with their communities and raise real funding — from the ground up.

This course is tailored specifically for the performing and visual arts sector, ensuring that every lesson and example speaks directly to those in theatre, dance, music, and the visual arts.

Participants will officially launch their campaigns on 24 October 2025, ready to engage audiences, build momentum, and unlock funding to bring their work to life.

Spaces are limited. The platform is ready.
All it needs now is your voice, your story, and your creative fire.
