In 2010, The Wende Museum launched its Corporate Partners program, which offers companies
opportunities to:

• entertain clients or reward employees at exclusive events such as the Wende Salon series
• network with colleagues in a variety of industries
• connect to the Museum’s quickly growing and highly desirable audiences

Each tax-deductible* Corporate Partnership contribution directly supports Museum programming, including high-profile events such as the 2009 Wall Project and more targeted educational activities. Corporate support helps the Museum meet the increasing interest and demands of its expanding audiences.  

Join this growing list of companies who recognize that a partnership with The Wende Museum
is GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

Corporate Partnership begins at $1,000 with increasing visibility and benefits available at higher levels. Partnership Benefits are listed below, however, the Museum can tailor a partnership package to meet the special strategic planning needs of your business

The Museum offers sponsorship opportunities for its high-profile events

Contributions at the $10,000 level and above may include featured recognition, expanded marketing options and other exclusive benefits

In addition to direct support, the Museum also urges employers to match the charitable donations of its current and retired employees. Matching Gifts encourage charitable giving by your employees and can serve as an employment benefit for your staff. Employer matches can range from a percentage of an employee’s gift to double or triple the amount their donation. Matching Gifts are applied to your Corporate Partnership account and may advance your company to a higher level of benefits and access.

The Museum accepts some corporate contributions as in-kind donations of goods or services.  Consult the Wish List to view our current needs.
