Partnership benefits associated with events and gatherings are subject to change in compliance with guidelines from State and Local Health Officials.
In years part, SBMM has hosted its Annual Fundraising Gala (May), Rum Raiser (Aug), Harbor & Seafood Festival (Oct), Sustainable Seafood Teen Challenge (Sept) and the Kardboard Kayak Race (July). Other event partnership opportunities include ‘State of the Ship’ Advisory Luncheon (July), quarterly Navigators Circle & Flagship Society receptions (examples here) and SBMM member appreciation events such as Mermaids & Buccaneers Day (Sept) or Free Community Days.

GRANTS & EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Vital funding is provided by corporate grantors, ranging from general operating funds to upgrade and repair current exhibits to underwriting our Educational Programs.

CAUSE-RELATED MARKETING & THIRD PARTY EVENTS BENEFITING SBMM
SBMM invites the community to partner through the creation of cause-related marketing concepts and hosting third party events that benefit SBMM, i.e. donating a percentage of event ticket sales to SBMM or donating a percentage of proceeds from the sale of a product. SBMM must approve use of its logo and marketing or event concept. Please contact Martha Donelan mdonelan@sbmm.org/(805) 456 – 8744 to brainstorm ideas.
VOLUNTEERING & IN-KIND SERVICES
Corporate volunteerism offers opportunities for team-building and improved morale among employees, not to mention professional development opportunities and increased feelings of job satisfaction. SBMM invites corporate volunteer(s)/groups to get involved with our Volunteer Program by becoming a docent, helping aboard our Ranger, supporting our Tall Ship program for children, serving on a SBMM Committee or providing skill-based volunteerism (determined by a specific project as a knowledge philanthropist). SBMM is also open to partnering through the donation of in-kind services from corporate entities, i.e. web design, project consulting, etc. For more information, please visit our volunteer webpage.
CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS
SBMM also welcomes the opportunity to host a private tour for employees and support their interests in contributing to the Maritime Museum through workplace-giving programs and corporate matching gifts.
