Support AutoWiki Foundation, the online database of individual cars
One global online database with data of individual special cars together is missing. AutoWiki wants to become that database.
Be the first to support this fundraiser!
Dear car friend,
Last year I took the initiative to set up www.AutoWiki.org.
It is a unique site where digital archives are created of individual cars based on their VIN/chassis number.
Specs, history, odometer readings, sales prices, photos (of events, restorations, etc.), documents (maintenance receipts), videos, etc. are recorded.
As with Wikipedia, the content is provided by visitors. Because (former) owners, enthusiasts, spotters, etc. can add information and photos, the archives become more and more complete over time and the history of a car will never be lost.
Owner Groups
Not only all cars are brought together, also their owners. Owners can - if they wish - sign up for the internal brand and model 'Owner Groups'. They can maintain contact with each other about car problems, parts, restorations, etc.
Beta version website online
The beta version of the site, which has been in the works for almost a year, has recently gone live. During construction, many new ideas have emerged and plans have been made for new features, which will be added in the coming year.
In addition, the front of the website will be improved and professionalised.
Costs of further development
AutoWiki.org is part of the non-profit AutoWiki Foundation and depends on donations. The costs to date have been fully borne by the undersigned.
The platform is now so extensive and the costs are increasing that I would like to call in the help of all car-loving enthusiasts.
The AutoWiki Foundation itself has set up the Founding Donators Program with the aim of attracting a number of major sponsors (for more information see www.autowiki.org)
Support campaign
To support this I have set up this campaign, aimed at everyone who thinks AutoWiki is a great initiative.
I hope that they will contribute to help me form the cradle of the future 'Wikipedia of the car world'.
The aim is to raise €50,000 in this way. In return, all donors are included in the 'Donators Club', they receive a mention on the AutoWiki website (personally, as a company, or anonymously) and they are invited to all AutoWiki events and car rallies. The first AutoWiki Rally is on June 17, 2022 :-)
I hope you want to help too!
On behalf of the AutoWiki Foundation and all car enthusiasts in the world, thank you in advance!
