Isabelle de Voldere argues that matchfunding (when crowdfunding is matched with other sources of funding) is a combination between a top-down approach (like in traditional cultural policy) and a bottom-up approach (the crowd decides what to fund). Do you think it is a good way to involve the community in the funding of culture? Would you like your municipality of region to develop cultural projects through matchfunding?
