Become a Sponsor
Independence relies on the passionate engagement of all citizens.
Why support the American Independence Museum?
As a partner, your reach is substantial. We welcome more than five thousand annual visitors to our campus in Exeter and more than 40,000 to our website each year. Your support of AIM enhances your company’s marketing and philanthropic objectives as well as advancing our critical mission.
Your support of the American Independence Museum also makes clear your shared conviction that democracy is just as crucial today as it was in 1776. The celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026 is a unique moment in history bringing even greater attention to our shared stewardship of this shared heritage.
What does it take to be a Sponsor?
There are multiple levels to choose from, listed below, with a variety of benefits. We are also delighted to customize a sponsorship that works for your needs. All levels of support are welcome and help the American Independence Museum preserve democracy.
