Everything we do is possible because of our dedicated group of supporters. A gift to The West End Museum is a gift to the legacy of change, innovation, and incredible stories of the people who have called the West End home. Thank you for your support.

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS — Promote your brand, benefit staff

There are a number of ways that corporations can support The West End Museum. Sponsorships, Corporate Memberships, and Residential Building Memberships are all great ways to get involved.

Sponsorships often support a specific exhibit or program that fits your brand. Sponsorship is also available for The WEM Weekly, our website and other “general” mediums.

Corporate Memberships provide member’s benefits to your entire staff. These memberships are easy to set up by emailing community-engagement@thewestendmuseum.org.

Residential Building Memberships allow you to offer Museum membership benefits to your entire building. These are typically arranged for buildings that are at least 50% rental units, but we’re happy to be flexible. Email us at community-engagement@thewestendmuseum.org for more information.
