Corporate Sponsorship | Opportunities for Creative Partnership and Support
The Emily Dickinson Museum is well on its way to its goal of serving as the world’s premier center for the study and celebration of Emily Dickinson’s life and legacy.
Getting there requires a continued focus on quality–of our mission and its delivery, and of the visitor experience both onsite and online. It also necessitates the successful engagement of key stakeholders and strategic partners who share the Museum’s commitment to quality, and who recognize the value of collaborating with the Emily Dickinson Museum during an exciting and expansive phase of change.
For the Emily Dickinson Museum, securing strategic partners whose objectives and audiences are aligned with and built on its own means the ability to tap into valuable resources of support, service, and guidance. For its partners, the value is in the connection with the enduring legacy and truly global reach of one of America’s greatest poets, the richness of the Emily Dickinson Museum story and experience for its existing and prospective stakeholders, and the opportunity to support one of our region’s most important cultural assets.
As the Museum continues its 20th Anniversary celebration, we are delighted to invite corporate sponsors to engage in a creative partnership.
Depending on the level of sponsorship, benefits of partnership include:
