A proposition for a mechanism to provide supplemental funding for cultural heritage

2012    Dimitriyadis, Irini; Akyuz, Sureyya O.; Basturk, Feride H.

The aim of this study is to find a mechanism so that massive outreach is attained for funding cultural heritage. What we propose is by no means a complete business model; it is based on the philosophy of creating solutions through relatively small contributions to targeted projects. A managing entity is assumed which will make sure the selection of efficient projects to be placed on web sites of interested parties so that funding is generated. The crucial point of our proposal is the fact that the contributions shall be made to targeted projects and not to abstract notions, follow up of the projects will be possible and notification of the status of the project to the contributing parties will be established. The idea stems from a project developed at Bahcesehir University on the allocation of CO2 over-emission penalties to different projects that would benefit the environment directly or indirectly, through a single web portal.
