Who we are
Who we are
We are a digital and human infrastructure for cultural crowdfunding. We make it easier for financial support to become creative content, and for cultural, communication, and outreach projects to have the tools, guidance, and judgement to grow coherently and with absolute transparency. We are committed to strengthening the cultural and associative fabric around the world.
What is Aixeta
Aixeta is an ongoing crowdfunding platform that supports creators and organisations in making cultural, communication, and outreach projects happen across the entire world.
2019, the beginning
Platform launch
Aixeta launched in 2019 with an innovative and bold proposal: to put an ongoing crowdfunding infrastructure at the service of culture, with responsibility and transparency.
, the present
Consolidation and impact
Today, Aixeta is an established platform, with an active community of thousands of users, management tools and resources for creators, focused on sustainability and cultural support.
What we do and why
Aixeta is a platform that sustains cultural projects through recurring support and one-off campaigns. We provide tools and guidance so that an individual or a collective can turn an idea into an executable project: defining goals, rewards and timeline, resources to communicate responsibly, and mechanisms to measure and deliver. And, above all, we take care of the relationship with patrons and followers, so that trust is not rhetoric, but practice.
We do it from a simple and realistic conviction: transparency you can verify, sustainability you can plan, and a community that does not only applaud, but sustains. That’s why we are not interested in growing at any cost. We want projects to stay standing, with a solid base and responsibility.
Aixeta exists because cultural precarity is not an inevitable destiny, but a consequence that can be debated and, in part, corrected. If there are tools, methodology and commitment, the people who create can work with more dignity, and those who love culture can sustain it directly, clearly and coherently. This is our commitment, and it is not symbolic: it is structural.
How it works
Each project clearly defines what it offers, what commitments it takes on, and how it will follow up. Support can be recurring, through subscriptions, or one-off, in the form of campaigns with a specific goal. In both cases, the agreement is the same: patronage is not a vague commitment, but a relationship based on defined rewards and the responsibility to make them happen.
Patrons receive the agreed return and have information to understand what they are sustaining. Creators, for their part, have a space to share updates, organise the timeline, manage rewards, and keep the thread with their base of support. The result is a simple dynamic: where there is more support, there is more room to create.
And when issues arise, we take care of them. The platform includes tracking and management tools so creators can act with judgement: unpaid payment control, activity histories, filters, and messaging to resolve situations quickly and respectfully. Because we want the relationship to be direct and professional, yes, but also human: with words, with context, and with responsibility.
Who’s behind it
Aixeta is a non-profit cultural association. Our legal name is Associació l'Aixeta de promoció cultural, our tax ID is G67322925, and our headquarters are in La Ràpita (Montsià). Our registration number in the associations registry is 64934. Having our centre of gravity in the Terres de l'Ebre allows us to understand the world through a decentralised lens, far from paternalistic narratives. We work with clear governance and with the goal of serving the sector, not exploiting it.
We are a team that combines technology, cultural management, and project support. We know the ground because we have walked it, and we build the platform with a fixed idea: to make it useful, intuitive and fair not only for the creative community, but also for the community of patrons and followers who want to support it.

Liz Castro
Founder
Writer, editor and cultural activist. She drove Aixeta forward and launched it in late 2019, with a simple and demanding idea: that culture can be sustained through direct support, transparency and community.
Cesk Freixas
Current director
Singer-songwriter and writer. Since 2023, he has led Aixeta with a clear goal: to consolidate the platform as a useful, modern, solid infrastructure in service of cultural creation.
Impact and data
Aixeta’s real impact is not just a number, but data always helps to understand the context and to be accountable. That’s why we constantly publish information about the platform’s activity and the project’s evolution, and share learnings to improve every process and every practice.
We want support to be traceable, results to be explainable, and trust to be earned.
Partnerships and support
Aixeta collaborates with cultural stakeholders and has supporters who recognise the value of a cultural infrastructure at the service of the social construction. These partnerships reinforce an essential idea: when culture has structure, it gains freedom.
Logo and brand
Usage notes When should you use each version?
We recommend using the logo for general communication and headers. The icon is ideal for avatars, favicons and tight spaces. If the background is complex or dark, it is usually better to use one of the variants included in the full pack.
Usage notes When should you use each font?
If it’s a call to action or a text with visual hierarchy, we use Nunito. If it’s a text that requires more reading time, we use Roboto.
