Art Fund is a non-profit organisation in London, UK, which raises funds to aid the acquisition of artworks for the nation. For over 110 years – since its foundation in 1903 – Art Fund has helped museums and galleries in the country to buy and display great works of art for everyone to enjoy.

The organisation raises around £11m each year and invests £9.5m of this in charitable activities.

A growing urge for a modern, collaborative intranet

With 70 employees and counting, Art Fund was looking for ways to improve internal collaboration. Their existing intranet was simply a page that contained static links – entirely insufficient for a team of 70 to collaborate effectively. They needed a modern solution for their modern workplace.

Art Fund explicitly wanted their new intranet to have a great “look and feel”, with the possibility to customise the design to match their brand identity. In addition, they sought an intranet that could integrate with Microsoft 365, which they were already using. In terms of features, HR functions like a Who is Who, org chart and people profiles were particularly important. And that's what led them to Involv.

Finding the right intranet platform with Involv

Through the demo, Art Fund was strongly impressed with Involv's eye-catching designs. They also liked that Involv made it possible to customise the look and feel of the intranet – important, as their new design had to align with their brand identity.

Besides, Involv is built in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, ensuring seamless integration with all the Microsoft 365 solutions Art Fund's employees were using. Another convincing factor was the default set of best-in-class features.

But that's not all. As a non-profit organisation, Art Fund was eligible for Involv's donation programme – meaning they were offered free Involv licences for their 70 users. Interested to know more? You'll find more information on the donation programme here.
