Corporate Membership

Each year, generous contributions from corporations and foundations fund essential youth programs, opportunities for families to connect with science and technology, teacher professional development, science learning activities for adults, and more. The Franklin Institute is committed to providing hands-on, creative and engaging STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning resources for everyone, regardless of means.

Foundation Giving

With the help of essential philanthropic contributions from donors, including private foundations, last year 1.2 million people directly experienced Institute programs, both within and beyond the museum’s walls. Students across the region visited on field trips, many at discounted rates or for no charge; teachers received free access to pre- and post-visit curricular resources; museum educators performed free live science shows every day; and science outreach programs reached diverse audiences in their own communities.
