Corporate support of the National Building Museum is a smart investment and helps the Museum inspire, educate, and attract 500,000 visitors per year. The Museum offers a variety of opportunities for strategic partnerships with corporations. Corporate support enables the Museum to provide innovative exhibitions, ongoing education programs, public events and festivals, and professional development opportunities.
Your company can benefit in the following ways:
Visionaries plan our cities, design and build the edifices and public spaces that give them form, and engineer the infrastructure that keeps it all working. The building industry plays an essential role in meeting the needs of our ever-evolving society through their efforts, and the National Building Museum honors and celebrates these professions by sharing their achievements, innovations, and impact with national audiences.
An inspired coalition of private companies, trade associations, and labor unions saved our historic home and established the Museum more than four decades ago. To this day, building industry partners continue to support and shape the exhibitions and programs experienced by 500,000 visitors each year.
Under the umbrella of the Capital Society membership program, the Museum provides a forum for corporate and association professionals to:
- Offer thought leadership that guides conversations on the innovations and emerging trends that impact the built environment.
- Network and connect with stakeholders from the industries shaping our built world, including architecture, design, engineering, urban planning, landscape architecture, and construction.
- Shape the next generation of building industry professionals.
- Engage employees with tangible benefits, including access to the Museum’s exhibitions, programs, and corporate team-building events.
With levels ranging from $1,000 to $25,000, the Capital Society offers valuable benefits for every organization. At every level of Capital Society, members have the opportunity to provide additional support that serves the Museum through exclusive customized engagement, including exhibition sponsorship, support for educational programming, and at the Capital Council level, the possibility of joining the Board of Trustees.
