Corporate Sponsorship

Corporate sponsors of our exhibitions, programs and events connect today’s audiences to ancient and global societies. Sponsorship opportunities are available at various levels and offer a wide range of benefits, including co-branding and exclusive access to access to the Museum’s collections, galleries and scholars.

Ongoing sponsorship opportunities at the Penn Museum include:

• Exhibitions that draw large and diverse crowds from the Greater Philadelphia Region and Northeast Corridor, as well as significant media attention;
• Free school trips to the Penn Museum, providing guided tours and hands-on workshops for K–12 students from Philadelphia schools;
• Popular public events including World Culture Days, Summer Nights music series, 40 Winks with the Sphinx sleepover program, and changing annual lecture series—all created to celebrate and promote awareness of the world's cultures.

Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC)

The Penn Museum is an approved Educational Improvement Organization through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). This designation recognizes our learning programs as enhancing the curriculum of public schools.

Eligible businesses who support free access for students to the Penn Museum may qualify for a tax credit equal up to 90% of their contribution.
