Public funding leverage The center has a track record of capital grants and state funding support, including multi-year allocations and specific renovations. This suggests potential for partnerships around sponsored programs, exhibit upgrades, and community outreach initiatives that align with public funding cycles.

Strategic partnerships Past collaborations with Johns Hopkins Medicine and corporate foundations indicate openness to academic, medical, and philanthropic partnerships. Explore co-branded exhibits, research collaborations, and donor-supported programs to expand audience reach and funding opportunities.

Exhibit expansion Grants and gifts have funded new exhibits and expansions (space exhibit development and Harbor Plaza renovations). There is appetite for innovative, STEM-focused experiences, presenting opportunities to sell sponsorships, content licensing, and turnkey exhibition partnerships.

Community engagement Engagement with local events and fundraising opportunities (Carats & Cocktails, disability services support) signals a strong community-facing stance. Sales opportunities include event sponsorships, auxiliary programming, and inclusive accessibility initiatives with corporate backing.

Digital and tech readiness A tech stack featuring marketing and engagement tools (Microsoft Advertising, Clarity, CRM and automation platforms) points to readiness for digital campaigns, donor/member acquisition initiatives, and data-driven sponsorship packages tied to measurable outcomes.
