CORPORATE Sponsorship

AN UNPARALLELED EPICENTER OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

ESSENTIAL REASONS AND BENEFITS OF SPONSORING THE FLOATING WATER WORKSHOP

  • Assist in teaching the present + future workforce about the importance of healthy water systems and the multidisciplinary effort required to conserve them.

  • Inspire students to explore career pathways in science and technology, art and ecology, government and public policy, and sustainable practices through pioneering STEAM- and PA STEELS-based hands-on experiences.

  • Contribute to the crucial professional development of local and regional professionals and organizations, as well as helping people from all walks of life become more aware of strategies for protecting our most vital resource—water.

It has never been more crucial to understand our natural water systems, which are essential to life and climate change readiness.

As we move toward what is almost certainly a hotter, wetter city, the Workshop assumes an increasingly urgent responsibility to lead informed discourse, to help interpret the climate science data and inspire individual and collective actions to ensure the health of Philadelphia’s water systems into the future.

A MARKET OPPORTUNITY THAT CONNECTS HIGH-VALUE OUTREACH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP

In a museum market that has become more homogeneous year after year, the Workshop is a unique platform to teach visitors to decode signs and signals of river health and resilience, merging the day-to-day state of the river with science and art-based education to better prepare for the future. With free admission for Philadelphia youth and a suggested donation starting at $2 for the public, the Workshop is creating a category all its own: Impactful, Accountable, Affordable.

With an initial location on the Delaware River and then the eventual expansion to a future site on the Schuylkill River, the Workshop will naturally interface with millions of annual visitors at each site; attracting myriad visitors—from school groups and educators to curious minds of all ages.

WATER WALL OF FAME

Sponsor the name of a scientific innovator or notable facts about a diverse group of icons whose impact on Research, Environmental Activism, STEAM, etc., has blazed an exceptional trail. Names and facts will be engraved on tiles (that also include the donor’s name). This is an ideal opportunity for small to mid-sized businesses to contribute to the project and be recognized alongside iconic figures; our goal is to open with 25 to 50 iconic tiles along our Wall of Fame.
