Arts Council England, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Nesta and DCMS are commissioning a crowdfunding platform to develop a match fund, to be hosted on a pre-existing platform, in order to experiment with match funding models in the arts and heritage sectors, with an invitation to tender is currently out with a deadline of 7 June.
The programme will seek to generate impact through selecting and financially supporting a number of arts and heritage projects. Through this process it will also develop insight into how these sectors can best engage with crowdfunding platforms and processes in the future, developing capacity within this field, along with understanding the profile and motivations of donors.
It will be used to develop evidence and recommendations on how crowdfunding can be used by public bodies to achieve impact and support their respective sectors in the best ways possible.
