Community Partner

The South Carolina State Museum Foundation invites you to take advantage of all that the museum has to offer by investing in your community.

This special program offers a chance for businesses and organizations to get involved with the museum.

The Community Partner program is an annual corporate membership and you and your employees will enjoy many tangible benefits, along with marketing your company as a strong supporter of the arts, sciences, and culture of our state. Your support includes a variety of wonderful opportunities and benefits that will showcase what makes the State Museum one of the premier educational and entertainment facilities in the Southeast.

The impact that your community partnership has on supporting our local museum far exceeds the cost of the donation. For more 35 years, the museum has been offering the latest in science and technology to students and guests while preserving and showcasing South Carolina art, cultural history and natural history. And with the planetarium, observatory and 4D theater, the value and opportunities the museum provides its guests is endless.
