Corporate support for the Albany Institute of History & Art is good for your business and good for Tech Valley. Each corporate donation received by the museum translates into increased services, programming, and outreach to the Capital Region, and allows the Albany Institute to continue as a leading cultural force in our community.

Corporate funds not only help us achieve our mission, they also allow us to update our technology, expand the reach of our public relations and marketing, increase our membership and create opportunities for underserved populations to experience the museum and take advantage of all it has to offer. Corporate donations help us deliver dynamic public programs and incredible traveling exhibitions, which bring a sense of excitement that great things are happening in Tech Valley.

Corporate donations not only help the Albany Institute and the arts in general, they also create a welcoming atmosphere for the thousands of families relocating to Tech Valley. Our corporate supporters enjoy benefits that bring outstanding pass-along benefits to their employees, families and children.

The Albany Institute offers corporations limitless opportunities, from exhibition underwriting to funding the museum’s education or child and family programs; from event sponsorship to facilities maintenance; from collections preservation to technological advancements. The Albany Institute can partner with your company in a way that brings you the community exposure you need, the employee involvement you desire, and the public recognition you deserve.

The Albany Institute understands and appreciates that no two companies are alike. Our philosophy is to work in partnership with businesses of all sizes to create a customized corporate participation plan that meets specific business goals and charitable interests. We have opportunities for sole proprietors, global corporations and everything in between.
