Exhibit Sponsorship

Exhibit Support

Exhibit sponsors provide the necessary funds to enhance and renovate current exhibits. Having hosted more than 2.4 million visitors in the past 20 years, this is a wonderful problem to have. New construction materials are available that can be used to create new "pieces" or more durable surfaces. Technology changes require computer and software upgrades on exhibits. Gifts of $1,000 or more provide the assistance needed to keep exhibits hands-on. Museum staff members work with donors to identify current exhibit needs and the interests of the donors.

New Exhibits

Museum staff members as well as Board members, work diligently to identify science, math and technology concepts that align with the Museum’s strategic plan. Interested community members, teachers and businesses are identified that support these concepts and help to make the exhibit a reality. Most exhibits take more than two years from concept to gallery placement so this provides a two-fold opportunity. For the donor, the gift may be made over several years and incorporate their mission in the exhibit. For the Museum, it provides shared expertise and an exceptional exhibit that will benefit visitors for years to come.

If you are interested in exhibit sponsorship opportunities, please contact the Director of Development for more individualized information.
