The establishment of a company
In 1982, a group of idealists
joins together and decides to establish a company with the following objectives (cf. statutes):
promote the influence of the Museum of Natural History
to support the activities and contribute to enriching the collections and equipment through donations in kind or in cash or through loans.
arousing public interest by organizing conferences, exhibitions, guided tours, publishing articles, studies and catalogs
From the first hour we are members of Natura, the umbrella association of nature and environmental protection organizations.
First step
Letters of appeal to keep the museum going are sent to all possible potential donors, such as banks, large companies, garages, etc., in the hope of getting enough funds together. The museum should get decent basic material to be able to work.
In 1983, the administration of the museum received a high-performance photocopier.
In 1985, the cultural fund was created, and from that moment on, donations can be tax-deductible.
Since 1986, the museum has been provided with a van, the maintenance of which is entirely borne by us.
There will be other cars, a trailer, a computer for the graphics service (1,000,000.- francs), another van for the Panda Club, a barco for the educational service, a sequencer for the population biology service, etc. …
