Corporate Giving – Discover the Connection

If respect for the natural world is a value your company shares, discover your connection to the California Academy of Sciences. As a Corporate Partner, you can advance biodiversity research, support science education, and model sustainability while enjoying access to the most amazing, green museum on the planet.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Explore, explain, and protect the natural world: That’s what the Academy was designed to do. As a dynamic classroom, the Academy immerses visitors in a one-of-a-kind living museum. Behind the scenes and in biodiversity hotspots around the globe, Academy researchers are making discoveries that deepen our understanding of the natural world. Corporate Partners help make it possible and leverage our power to make a difference.

 

Inspire the Next Generation

Since September 2008, the new Academy has welcomed more than two million guests from across the Bay Area and around the world, and thousands more visit every day. Each year, more than half a million children visit the Academy, often on school field trips that make a vital contribution to their science education and awareness. Professional development programs reach out to science teachers. Internship programs inspire tomorrow’s scientists. At the Academy, you have an educational partner with real impact.
