Help us build the platform the museum world deserves

Museum Voices is built by and for cultural professionals. We are a non-profit association, without investors. To bring upcoming features to life, we invite our members to become Founders — unlocking founder access in return.

Become Founder See what we are building

The vision

A single place where every museum professional can make themselves known, exchange with peers, and find resources to advance their projects.

A living directory

Thousands of museums, professionals, and cultural organizations — searchable, structured, and maintained by the community itself.

Smart matchmaking

A matchmaking engine that connects you to the right contacts — by expertise, by need, by cause — and opens dialogue via a double-consent introduction.

Funding monitoring

Continuously updated monitoring of grants and calls for proposals (CFPs) relevant to the GLAM sector, so you never miss an opportunity.

A global stage

MuseumWeek, the Magazine and the exhibitions — the audience and reach of an initiative that has engaged over 36,000 participants worldwide.

Why we need you

We build as efficiently as possible. Every euro goes directly into the product and the infrastructure that runs it. Here is exactly where a €10,000 goal would be allocated over the next 12 months:

Product development — matching, funding monitoring, dashboard €4,500
Design & user experience €1,500
Translation & multilingual support (6 languages) €1,200
Legal compliance & GDPR (Terms of Use, privacy) €1,000
Hosting & infrastructure (12 months) €800
Platform fees & contingencies €1,000

Total goal — €10,000 · A non-profit campaign, conducted with full transparency.

The upcoming model

Museum Voices will always have a free core — it is at the heart of our association’s mission. Some advanced tools, which really cost to build and operate, are part of a paid package we call Essential. Here is how the two compare:

Free, forever

The foundation of our mission

  • ✓ Your profile & your directory listing
  • ✓ Browse and search the community
  • ✓ Participate in MuseumWeek
  • ✓ Read the Magazine & exhibitions

Essential the paid plan

What your support unlocks

  • ★ Advanced matching engine
  • ★ Up to 30 connections / month
  • ★ Grant & call for proposals monitoring
  • ★ Export your data
  • ★ Priority support

Founders receive the Essentiel package included for a limited time, as a thank you. The Founder and Patron tiers then retain a preferential Founder rate — as long as their subscription remains active. (See exact details below.)

How founder access works

  • Time-limited. Your included Essential access runs for the duration of your tier, starting from confirmation of your contribution. This is not unlimited or lifetime free access.
  • Then a Founder rate. At the end of the included period, the Founder and Patron tiers retain access to a preferential rate reserved for members — maintained as long as your subscription remains active, never the public rate. The Supporter tier includes the access period without this permanent Founder rate.
  • Covers current tools. Founder access and the Founder rate apply to the Essential package as it exists today. Future AI tools will be priced separately, including for Founders.
  • Fair use. Essential features such as matching and connections have reasonable monthly limits to keep the service healthy for everyone.
  • The free core remains free. Whatever happens, your profile, the directory, and MuseumWeek remain free for all members.

The founders' wall

Those who have chosen to build Museum Voices with us. Being listed is entirely optional and done with consent — you decide whether to appear and exactly under which name.

Transparent management

An association, without investors

Culture For Causes Network is a French non-profit association. Your contribution funds the project — it does not purchase any share and carries no financial return.

Clear milestones

We will publish what we deliver and the use of funds, so that each Founder can see their support at work.

Your data, respected

Matches are made with mutual consent, and your data is processed in accordance with the GDPR. We never sell the directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an investment?

No. We are an association: there are no shares or financial returns. You support the project, and in return you receive founding access and benefits.

When does my Essentiel access start?

As soon as your contribution is confirmed — your access period starts immediately, and we send you the details by email.

What happens at the end of my founding period?

The Founder and Patron tiers retain access to the preferential Founder rate — a member-only price maintained as long as your subscription remains active. The Supporter tier includes the access period without this permanent rate. You are never charged automatically without your consent.

What if the goal is not reached?

We build at the pace that funds allow, and we will be transparent about what this means for the roadmap. Your founder benefits are honored in all cases.

Can I get a tax receipt?

This campaign offers benefits in exchange for your contribution: it is therefore not a tax-deductible donation. If you wish to donate without benefits, please contact us directly.

Be among the first Founders

A few minutes, a contribution you choose, and you help shape the tool the entire community will use. Thank you for being part of it.
