The Dutch National Ballet is always looking for new ways involve their audiences and in May 2016 they launched their first crowdfunding campaign.

DigVentures is an archaeology crowdfunding platform that went from an idea in 2012 to having created and nurtures a sustainable and booming community of supporters and followers. By keeping their supporters motivated through different engagement opportunities, their financing model allows cross-selling of services (archaeology experiences) and replication in order to fund new excavation projects. In this way the sustainability of the platform and the community itself is ensured.
