Support the Cade Museum

Building the Future Together

Building the first phase of the Cade Museum (21,000 square feet) as well as its exhibits, labs and workshops will require $9 million as well as many volunteer hours, in-kind contributions and community effort. We welcome and encourage your ideas, creativity and financial support. We are always ready to blend your expertise and energy with our own. What better way to see the future than to have a front row seat as it unfolds.

Rarely does a circumstance like this present itself.  Will you help us to create something from nothing; to bring a dream into reality; to alter the course of lives and to transform a community? Will you join us as we embark on this endeavor to change the world?

 

Naming Opportunities

The Cade Museum offers once in a lifetime opportunities to name the physical spaces within the Museum, such the lobby, galleries and laboratories.  These naming opportunities--in grateful recognition of leadership gifts from the Museum's most generous supporters--ensure that your generosity will be recognized, in most instances, in perpetuity.   All donations to the Capital Campaign help build the Cade Museum.  There are a variety of opportunities for recognition of a donor’s generosity within the Museum from small areas to large spaces.  Benefits for gifts of this size will be customized for each individual donor.

 

Large Visitor Areas (Lobby, The Square)- Gifts of $1,000,000-$5,000,000

Specialty Areas (Welcome Desk, Gift Shop)- Gifts of $100,000-$1,000,000

Galleries and Laboratories- Gifts of $250,000-$1,000,000

Outdoor Areas/Special Event areas – Gifts of $50,000-750,000

               

Sponsorship of Exhibits

Exhibits are the life-blood of any museum.  These are revolving areas that will change as needed and opportunities arise.  This is an exciting and interesting way to capture the imagination of a specific audience.  Special exhibitions at the Cade Museum will be well publicized and very popular.  Each exhibition will be supported by extensive educational programming, marketing campaigns, and special events.

Naming opportunities/sponsorships of exhibits are available and generally exist for the period of time the exhibit will live in the Cade Museum or as otherwise determined.  Some exhibits may extend for years, others for months.  Therefore, amounts for exhibit sponsorship will vary. 

Exhibition sponsorship is a meaningful way for individuals, corporations, and foundations to support our most ambitious and high-profile projects. Sponsorship is offered at a range of giving levels from $25,000 to $150,000 and more, and is a highly customized experience
