By contributing, you are boldly embracing a new kind of museum—one that actively advances housing justice and amplifies community voices.

    Generous support from the business community helps to sustain our museum as a pay-what-you-can cultural experience that everyone can enjoy. 

    Exhibit and program sponsors help to bring specific museum experiences to life. With offerings that explore art, history, public policy, racial justice, and more, sponsors can choose to support an initiative that resonates with their mission and brand. We offer a range of visibility benefits that demonstrate your organization’s commitment to art, culture, and the greater good. 

    Corporate membership helps to provide free school visits for K-12 students, who experience unique learning opportunities about the history and future of public housing. The museum offers three levels of membership to corporations, congregations, and nonprofit organizations. Each level includes corresponding benefits–from free tours for employees to special behind-the-scenes experiences, as well as free rental of the museum’s Living Room and Sculpture Garden  for a unique reception for your organization.
