Education Partnerships NUMU operates ArtNow high school art exhibits and a Teen Council, signaling strong school and youth engagement. There is a clear sales opportunity to expand district partnerships, sponsor ArtNow events, and offer paid educator workshops, field trips, and virtual programs to scale participation across Santa Clara County.

Fundraising Momentum NUMU has secured a historic $1 million donation in 2022 and a Santa Clara County grant in 2024, indicating a receptive donor base and grant pipeline. Sales opportunities include pursuing multi-year major gifts, targeted corporate sponsorships, and foundation grants with well-defined programmatic opportunities and naming rights.

Program Excellence The 2023 Superintendent's Award for Excellence in Museum Education highlights NUMU's strong educational programming. Leverage this credibility to market expanded services such as paid workshops, licensing of educational content, virtual tours, and cross-district partnerships to drive attendance and revenue.

Corporate Engagements NUMU's tech-enabled operations (ecommerce, Eventbrite, analytics) facilitate corporate partnerships and private events. Target local tech firms for sponsorships, employee engagement programs, and private tours that align with art and history experiences, offering tiered sponsorships and private program packages.

Local Partnerships Based in Los Gatos with county-level funding support, NUMU sits well to collaborate with local government, tourism boards, and cultural networks. Opportunities include co-branded experiences, joint marketing campaigns, and county-wide cultural offerings, expanding revenue streams beyond admission and merchandise.
