Our goal may be big. But it's also necessary and achievable. Whilst we continue to make great progress without funding, we need to start collaborating, testing, creating content and piloting the approach with Museums & Galleries. And we need your help to make it happen.
We are all about collaboration. So, rather than seeking grant funding, we’re looking for supporters to contribute a comparatively small amount each to help us to facilitate growth and reduce costs through collaboration.
The team are on standby and the platform build is on track. Now it’s time to engage the sector, gather insights, create benchmarks, set goals and start furnishing museums and galleries with campaigns, tools knowledge and insight.
Here’s a brief outline of how the funds will be used to to help deliver our pilot programme.
We want to open the doors of our online community as soon as possible. This means constant monitoring and engagement which will need to be staffed.
We need to work with pilot members to benchmark current digital activities. This means research, surveys, focus groups etc.
With benchmarks in place, we have actionable data. Next we need work with partners and the community to turn that data into our launchpad toolkit, and corresponding content.
Until now, we’ve been operating in a minimal development environment. Going public, means that we incur the cost of production ready infrastructure before generating revenue.
Collaboration between funding organisations can lead to smarter resource allocation and decisions, as they become more informed about each other’s activities. Sharing knowledge and experiences about past projects, ongoing initiatives, and future plans can help funders identify and optimise their respective roles in supporting the sector.
We want to help funders to...
Working together, to leverage collective resources, expertise, and influence to achieve shared goals more effectively. Use projects to identify and pursue opportunities, use the knowledge hub to share best practices and overcome barriers to growth. We’re here to help you build stronger relationships with each other, with stakeholders and with the wider community, leading to a more vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive growth for the sector overall.
Some of the benefits for associations
We’re here to help to foster stronger relationships between content creators, publishers, the media and Museums & Galleries providing access to unique content, stories, and perspectives. Use posts, knowledge and content tools to increase coverage and audience engagement.
