Sponsorship Opportunities
The Houston Maritime Center & Museum (HMC&M) inspires knowledge of the maritime world through a wide variety of programs, both in our gallery and out in the community. Education is at the forefront of our mission and our outreach goals. By educating Houstonians about the Houston ship channel and its history, maintaining our archives for future generations, curating a museum gallery with exhibits to spark the imaginations of all ages, and creating an online presence for locals and those around the country to explore the maritime world, we aim to bring together the industry and the community. Your sponsorship can help fund these programs and extend our reach to further our mission, expand workforce development, and educate the community about Houston’s impact on the maritime world.
