Corporate partnerships with the Hunter offer members of the business community the opportunity to help maintain a vibrant arts scene in Chattanooga through support of the museum’s exhibitions, collection, and educational programs. We are grateful to our sponsors whose generous financial support enables us to better fulfill the Hunter’s mission to connect people of diverse backgrounds with creativity, knowledge, and ideas.

CORPORATE SUPPORT

As a corporate contribution decision-maker, you receive countless requests from worthwhile organizations and many giving choices. As the only museum focused on American Art in Southeast Tennessee, the Hunter Museum is uniquely positioned to share your message.

The Hunter will welcome over 80,000 guests in 2019. When your company chooses to sponsor an exhibition, program, or fundraiser, it reaches an audience of educated professionals and up-and-comers who value learning and appreciate the finer things in life. Your company’s support also sends a strong, positive message to your employees and the community.

We offer a variety of sponsorships which offer both marketing and hospitality benefits. Our development and marketing team will work with you to maximize the impact of your company’s generosity.

The Hunter’s sponsorship benefits include Corporate Partner Weekends that welcome our sponsor’s employees – and their families – at no charge. Depending on the sponsorship, marketing benefits may include signage, logo recognition on print and promotion materials and the Hunter website, and visibility through the Hunter’s robust social media marketing. Hospitality benefits may include special invitations, memberships, and behind-the-scenes tours.

IN-KIND GIFTS

The Hunter Museum of American Art offers many opportunities for organizations who wish to make in-kind contributions in helping carry out the museum’s mission.

While cash gifts are appreciated, non-cash donations are just as valuable. And, since in-kind gifts are always acknowledged publicly, putting your specialty products and services in front of museum patrons and the community can be a great way to promote your business or organization.

Note that values of in-kind gifts must be determined by the donor. Donations are tax deductible within IRS regulations.
