Finding Creativity through Strategic Partnerships and Funders
Corporations are the driving force behind funding programs and access at San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum (SDCDM). When seeking out new funders, it behooves museums to think creatively about corporations who will not just fund one-time programs but become valued partners and supporters. Through strategic partners like Dr. Bronner’s, SDCDM has found new ways to bring exciting programs to life through mission alignment and a valued partnership with a local organization.
