Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao is the initiator of Herens/cia | Erfgoed | Heritage, driven by the belief that information about the heritage of the CAS and BES islands should be easily accessible and available. Project management and overhead costs are funded by the foundation.

Without the support of the Cultuurfonds Caribisch Gebied, this project would not have taken off. The fund sponsored the first phase of the project, laying the groundwork for further development and expansion of the information.

The ​Mondriaan Fund enables the further development, expansion, and translation of the website into Papiamentu and English, preparing it for promotion to a broad audience.

UNESCO, through its Participation Programme — a fund supporting cultural and educational projects worldwide — has helped make this project possible. Their support enables us to fill the website with information and educational resources on Dutch Caribbean heritage, allowing us to build on our work in cultural education and community engagement as the project grows.

In 2023, the Representation of the Netherlands in Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten organized a Prinsjesdag Challenge for high school students. The students of Albert Schweitzer College won this challenge by developing an ecologically responsible plan for the Isla site. As part of the prize, the Representation provided a donation, allowing the students to choose a charity. They selected Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao, which used the funds to develop the website dutchcaribbeanheritage.org, aimed at making educational heritage materials more accessible.
