Corporate Sponsorship
At Conner Prairie, every day is a historic adventure. We tell the story of the frontier spirit that still influences us as a Nation today—a Nation of innovators and entrepreneurs. Your corporate contribution is a direct investment in the interactive learning opportunities that make Conner Prairie uniquely suited to tell this story. Through corporate sponsorship, your company will have broad exposure to over 320,000 individuals who visit Conner Prairie each year, 37 percent of whom reside in Hamilton County.
As one of the country’s finest living history museums, we offer year-round programs and exhibitions, hands-on activities for children and adults, heritage classes, family fun and lifelong learning. Corporate sponsorship reinforces your support of our educational and community-oriented goals, while reaching your target market.
Corporate sponsors are included in applicable marketing and promotional material, increasing your visibility in the greater Indianapolis area. As an added benefit, employees of sponsoring companies will receive a special discount on admission to our museum during the month or the event of sponsorship. From festivals and events to special exhibitions and long-term partnerships, corporate sponsorships are invaluable to Conner Prairie’s mission—and your business goals.
Sponsorship Levels:
- Title Sponsor: $10,000 and above
