De behoefte aan goed onderbouwde kennis over mecenaat is groot – niet alleen bij kunstenaars, culturele instellingen, gevers, beleidsmakers en de media, maar ook bij de groeiende groep studenten die jaarlijks op het thema afstudeert. Daarom biedt deze kennisbank een breed scala aan gepubliceerd onderzoek door wetenschappers verbonden aan Nederlandse universiteiten, en door masterstudenten die aan Nederlandse universiteiten zijn afgestudeerd. Nieuw onderzoek wordt voortdurend aan het platform toegevoegd. Er kan op verschillende manieren gezocht worden: via een zoekbalk in de linker-kolom, via het teksttype, de toegang, het onderwerp, de auteur en de taal.
