Towards sustainable community-based funding of museums
Funding of museums by national, regional and local governments has diminished and the trend is still negative. In the slipstream also sponsorship by private companies has been reduced. Museums have to look for other forms of income in order to finance their societal tasks and their successful role as social institutes. Community-based crowdfunding might be a solution to get a large part of the public involved, let them be an active part in it and get them intouch with their heritage. A specific element of attention will be the inclusion of community members with fewer financial means, in the meanwhile avoiding stigmatization. The project will conceptualize, initiate and bring together existing test cases and analyze them by means of objective parameters.
