Floating Museum Project
Os Patexeiros Maritime Cultural Association
How can you help us?
1.- Selfless donation (crowdfunding)
We are developing a crowdfunding campaign to make the launch of the project possible, at a key moment when costs are increasing and community support is essential. This campaign is structured in different contribution levels (€5, €20, €35 and €50), so that anyone can take part according to their means.
All contributors may appear, if they wish, in an acknowledgements section on our website, as public recognition of their support. In addition, depending on the type of contribution, there are small rewards linked to the project, such as access to exclusive information or participation in activities. For contributions of €50 or more, a T-shirt from the association will also be included as a gift.
It is important to highlight that this collaboration is entirely non-profit: it is a donation intended to support the project and maritime heritage, and therefore it is not financially recoverable. Every contribution, no matter how small, will directly help make this sea-linked cultural space a reality.
2.- Interest-free loan for 5 years
Patexeiros Bonds are a way to support the project through an interest-free loan to the Cultural Maritime Association Os Patexeiros.
The minimum contribution is €100, and any higher amount is welcome. The aim is to provide liquidity at a key moment, while awaiting the arrival of public funding. The association commits to full repayment within a maximum period of 5 years, with the possibility of early repayment. To formalize this, a contract will be signed, through which a bond certificate will also be issued to the contributor. This option is open to anyone interested. Additionally, if desired, the contributor may be publicly acknowledged as a supporter of the project.
For members, this contribution does not replace the annual fee, but is an additional form of support. A direct way to help make the Museo a Flote a reality and to preserve our maritime heritage.
3.- Sponsorship
We also offer the possibility to collaborate through sponsorship, a formula especially designed for institutions, companies and organisations that wish to support the project directly. It is a selfless contribution aimed at promoting the development of the Floating Museum and its cultural, educational and maritime heritage preservation activities.
In the case of significant sponsorship, the association will publicly acknowledge the support by including the company’s or organisation’s logo as a collaborator of the museum, both on materials related to the project and on the website. In this way, a visible partnership is established, linked to the values of culture, territory and sustainability promoted by the initiative.
Sponsorship thus represents an opportunity for companies and organisations to take an active role in a cultural project with social impact, contributing to the preservation of our maritime heritage and its future.
