Corporate Membership (click here for a Corporate Membership Enrollment Form)

A corporate membership provides a mutually beneficial partnership for the museum and the corporation.  As membership provides free, general admission to employees and their families for one year, among other benefits (see below), a corporate membership enhances the quality of your employees’ lives.  It also advances a company’s visibility and brand.  Moreover, the membership provides vital support to the Morris Museum as it strives to enlighten, educate and entertain people of all ages and backgrounds through quality permanent and changing exhibitions, educational programs, and professional performances at its Bickford Theatre.   A membership is an investment that benefits the entire community.

Corporate/Foundation Contributions (Click here for a Corporate/Foundation Donation Form)

Corporate and Foundation contributions are essential to the Morris Museum serving nearly 200,000 individuals per year through high caliber exhibitions, educational programs and live performances in our Bickford Theatre.  As a local and regional center for arts, culture and education, we are delighted to partner with our corporate neighbors and foundation friends. We are happy to acknowledge our corporate and foundation supporters in a variety of ways, providing visibility and brand recognition for the donor.

Contributions can be for general operating support or targeted to a particular exhibition, educational program, special event, or Bickford Theatre offering.   The Museum strives to keep admission fees modest and provide a variety of free-of-charge opportunities to make quality arts, science and history experiences accessible to the public.  Unrestricted funds through general operating support are vital to ensure the Museum meets its mission of enhancing the quality of life in New Jersey.

Project support donations are greatly appreciated as they help the Morris Museum maintain the high quality which the public has come to expect and certainly deserves.  A variety of changing exhibitions focusing on art, science, and history are presented throughout each year.  Additionally, the museum offers educational programs for schools, both on-site and off-site, as well as educational workshops and lectures for patrons of all ages.  As the only museum in the state with its own professional self-producing theatre, the Bickford Theatre, we offer a variety of adult and children’s theatre, jazz series, and special concerts.  Sponsorship of special events is also available.

Thank you for considering a contribution to the Morris Museum.  It is not only a gift to the museum, but also an investment in the communities we serve!
