Sponsorship Opportunities 

PCM is thrilled to offer 3 unique event sponsorship opportunities in 2025 that can be customized to fit your organization’s needs and priorities.

Powerful Brand  

Now in its 48th year of operation, Providence Children’s Museum (PCM) is the most visited museum in the capital city, the most popular museum in the state (according to six annual ProJo Polls), and is the first stop on the “learning pathway” for Rhode Island families. From STEAM activities in I-lab & Maker Studio, to the story galleries of “Coming to Rhode Island,” and Cultural Connections events all year round, PCM is a place where children can ignite their natural love of creativity and exploration. 

Wide Audience 

No other organization in Rhode Island reaches as many families and children — over 200,000 annually! As an institution dedicated to access, with over 1/3 of attendees coming at free/reduced rates, PCM reaches a highly diverse audience of Black, Indigenous, and people of color. For over 25 years, PCM is a great community partner with extensive training relationships with the Rhode Island Department of Education, Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth, and Families, and nonprofits across the state.
