Educational partnerships MONA is recognized for award-winning museum education programs, including K-12 initiatives, and runs hands-on neon classes. This presents an opportunity to propose collaborative school district programs, after-school workshops, and educator-focused tours that align with STEM and arts curricula.

Neon heritage tourism With exhibits in Glendale and historic signage in Universal CityWalk, there is potential to expand guided tours, pop-up experiences, and branded routes that attract local visitors and Neon enthusiasts, as well as cross-promo with nearby cultural venues.

Digital engagement Recent launch of the Community Beacons digital guide signals openness to tech-enabled visitor experiences. Sales opportunities include upgraded digital guides, mobile tour add-ons, sponsorships for beacon content, and data-enabled audience insights services.

Preservation partnerships MONA’s role in relighting hundreds of historic signs and its archive management suggests collaboration potential with heritage preservation orgs, sign manufacturers, and cultural funders for restoration projects, grants, and co-branded exhibitions.

Grant and philanthropy readiness As a lean museum with a broad scope and notable recognition, MONA may be open to sponsorships, corporate philanthropy, and grant-funded programs targeting arts, education, and science outreach, offering a pathway for sponsorship packages and cause-related marketing.
