Be Recognized
With exposure to more than a half million visitors annually, collaborating with us can help you reach your goals by instilling employee pride, building public trust, fostering science education, responding to community needs and enhancing company image.

Be Appreciated
In exchange for your generosity, Corporate Partners enjoy a robust package of benefits that includes complimentary passes, employee discounts and public recognition of your financial assistance.

Be Involved
From volunteer opportunities, new exhibits, IMAX movies and special events, Corporate Partners have the privilege of being first to know what is happening at the Aquarium.

Be Entertained
Whether it’s Breakfast with the Seals, a Behind-the-Scenes Tour or cocktails and dinner by the Shark tank, the Aquarium is the perfect venue to host your employees, clients, and stakeholders. Depending on donor level, Corporate Partners receive discounted or complimentary tours, cruises, and facility rental.

Be Inspired
In the spirit of giving, consider a restricted gift to support a specific Aquarium program or fund such as the Red Apple Fund for Student Enrichment, the Children’s Opportunity Fund, Traveling Teacher Program, or the Long Island Sound Biodiversity Project.

Be Philanthropic
Join us in developing in-depth partnerships with schools to improve science education. Allocate a portion of your gift to Adopt-A-Class or Adopt-A-Grade and sponsor a year of marine science and environmental education at an underserved school. 

Be a Sponsor
Corporate Partners of a certain level can Adopt-An-Exhibit for one year. This includes acknowledgement signage at the exhibit of your choice (pending availability) and allocating a portion of your gift towards maintenance and daily animal care.
