12:00pm - 5:00pm There’s always more to discover!
Reach new audiences, improve brand recognition, engage clients, and reward employees. With a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities, there are many ways your business can be recognized for supporting science education in our community.
Your business can sponsor an exciting event or program that supports The Discovery’s efforts to inspire our community through hands-on science exploration.
There are many sponsorship opportunities to choose from, and each can be customized. Here are just a few:
Contact Adam Wiley, Senior Development Officer – Corporate Giving & Special Events at awiley@nvdm.org or 775-398-5921 to share your sponsorship goals, target audience and/or focus area, or to request more information on the sponsorships currently available.
As a business, are you willing to double or even triple your employees’ donations of cash or volunteer time to The Discovery?
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees, or match employee volunteer time with a corporate gift to the charity. Gifts from retirees and spouses may also qualify for a match.
To find out if your company is already promoting this opportunity, or you would like to, please use our Employer Donation Matching search tool, or contact Adam Wiley, Development Officer – Corporate Giving & Special Events at awiley@nvdm.org or 775-398-5921.
Designate The Discovery as the benefitting charity for your company’s annual or quarterly event.
You will be supporting exciting hands-on science programming and exhibits for our community through your event. And The Discovery may be able to work with you to help cross-promote public events to help make it even more successful in supporting the museum’s mission.
Invite The Discovery to apply for a grant from your company that will support its mission to inspire through science education.
Many businesses have a philanthropic arm, either through a corporate foundation, or a community grant program. Please contact Melanie Dolezal, Development Officer – Grants and Foundations, at mdolezal@nvdm.org or 775-398-5910 to provide instructions on how to apply for your support. Thank you for considering The Discovery as you pursue the philanthropic goals of your business.
You and/or a group of your colleagues can volunteer for a range of annual events and programming activities that may include the Leprechaun Race, Halloween Trick-or-Treat, Family STEM Nights, Social Science, Chemistry of the Cocktail, camps, and more.
Please contact Adam Wiley, Development Officer – Corporate Giving & Special Events at awiley@nvdm.org or 775-398-5921 to discuss your volunteering options. This may include how many volunteers you are interested in helping to recruit, your company’s volunteer goals, and which season may be best for volunteering. The Discovery would be delighted to find the right volunteer role or event for you and your company!
