Corporate + Foundation Giving 

The Works Museum proudly collaborates with local and national businesses and foundations to inspire the next generation of engineers through high-quality, equitable STEM learning experiences.

Corporate and foundation support can take many forms, including grants, event sponsorships, and employee engagement opportunities like volunteer days or STEM activity partnerships.

Let’s explore how your organization’s vision aligns with ours to create meaningful impact through the right program or initiative. Together, we can make STEM accessible, exciting, and inclusive for all kids in our community!

Event Sponsorships

Sponsorships create meaningful impact by delivering hands-on engineering experiences and real-world connections both at the Museum and at schools and community centers, engaging students, families, and teachers. Sponsors play a vital role in introducing STEM role models and highlighting career opportunities through interactive activities and demonstrations.

To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Emily Kinny, Development Manager at sponsorships@theworks.org.

Partnership Spotlight: 3Mgives

With support from the 3Mgives, The Works Museum delivers a 90-minute electromagnetism workshop to 2,250 St. Paul Public Schools (SPPS) 4th graders each year, aligning with Minnesota K-12 Science Standards and SPPS career pathways goals. Now in its fourth year, this partnership continues to strengthen, ensuring equitable access to STEM learning district-wide and inspiring future engineers.  

At STEM Day at the Capitol, 4th grade St. Paul Public Schools students demonstrated various aspects of building their own electromagnetic “fishing pole” and interacted with event attendees and policymakers.
