Become a Sponsor

Help us celebrate our tenth anniversary in 2024 and join us as a sponsor now as we plan our future activities.

As one of our museum sponsors, your company is identified with and provides meaningful support for SOFO’s most visible and significant activities.

We offer a range of exhibition, program, and event sponsorship opportunities that enable you to reach targeted segments of the museum’s audience, as well as your own constituency.
