Expansion Sponsorship Tellus is expanding with two new exhibit spaces, presenting a prime opportunity for corporate sponsors and philanthropic partners to fund and brand interactive experiences that align with STEM education and visitor engagement.

Education Partnerships As a Smithsonian affiliate with hands-on science exhibits, Tellus can partner with K-12 schools, colleges, and science organizations for field trips, teacher training, and sponsored programs that broaden impact and funding opportunities.

Tourism Partnerships Located along major travel routes, Tellus attracts regional visitors and tourists; opportunities exist to develop group itineraries, hotel packages, and co-branded events to boost attendance and revenue.

Digital Commerce Leveraging its Shopify platform, Tellus can grow online and on-site merchandise, membership sales, and special digital passes to diversify revenue beyond admissions while expanding reach.

Planetarium Outreach The planetarium and observatory program can be monetized through astronomy nights, speaker series, corporate events, and sponsorships that showcase science education and community engagement.
