Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council,
16 March 2016, Switzerland

More projects realised, more sponsors gained, more money raised – crowdfunding is very much on the rise. For the first time, a study has now explored the extent and the potential of crowdfunding – by which sponsors are sought via the internet – for the financing of cultural projects in Switzerland. Federal Counsellor Alain Berset today presented various aspects of this new approach to funding at the «Forum für Kultur und Ökonomie» in Berne.
