Exhibit & Program Sponsorship Opportunities

Honoring Service. Inspiring Leadership. Educating Generations.

Join Us!

Join us as a sponsor of Carolina Museum of the Marine. Your support brings our mission to life: to honor the legacy of Carolina Marines and Sailors, cultivate principled leadership, and educate future generations. With construction nearing completion and doors opening in 2026, now is the time to secure your place in history.
Our sponsorship program replaces traditional naming opportunities with a flexible and time-limited approach designed to align with philanthropic goals while meeting the community where it is. All sponsor partners receive recognition benefits, including signage, digital acknowledgment, and invitations to museum events.
Sponsors will join a growing list of visionary partners who’ve made this Museum possible. See below for current sponsorship opportunities and examples of secured gifts.
