We are partially funded through a one-time endowment that currently sustains day-to-day operations. To forge a path for Curationist Foundation’s mission and vision to increase representation and accessibility, it is critical to fortify our individual donor network, develop strategic partnerships, and secure grants.


Become a donor

We believe in the open knowledge movement, and that connecting cultural institutions’ digital collections on a global scale can transform the world’s relationship to art and culture, especially from underrepresented cultures.

When you support Curationist Foundation, you join an expansive collective of artists, archivists, software developers, librarians, activists, and arts professionals committed to the liberation of knowledge.


Become a partner

Partnerships with the community enable us to expand our impact by underwriting crucial technology infrastructure upgrades. Our flagship projects, the Curationist platform and Curationist Museum Services, pave the way for strategic collaborations with esteemed universities and museums—but we need to support through procuring the necessary funding.


We invest donor resources in program development, platform enhancements, and new projects.
