Partnership

Forging New Bonds

Let’s collaborate

We’re on this quest together—this effort to make Siouxland a better place to live, work and grow. The Center is here as a shining example of Siouxland’s quality of life and cultural history as you recruit new team members to the area. Bring them by for a visit to illustrate all the free cultural, historical, entertainment and educational options that will be available to them and their families as Siouxlanders!

The Center also recognizes the vast potential of joining forces with businesses to pool resources and bring about positive change in ways that benefit not only your business and our nonprofit, but the community at large.

We are open to your out-of-the-box suggestions and have a few ideas of our own. Our partnership can be as small or as large as you’re willing to go:

  • Get to know our staff and facilities a little better by hosting an event or meeting at the Center.
  • Commit a little further by partially or fully sponsoring an event. We’ll make sure you get the credit you deserve.
  • Suggest any other type of collaboration and if it aligns with our mission, we’ll be all for it!

Business relationships with the Center are a win/win

Our assets are here for you—we sincerely invite you to leverage them! We have the facilities and people to plan, execute and publicize your indoor or outdoor events and make sure our space is well-prepared for them. If your company has a story of cultural significance to tell, we’d love to work with you on a temporary exhibit that—once it leaves our space—can be relocated to your offices or anywhere else you’d like. We will be delighted to work with you in these informal ways or within more defined parameters through our Navigators diversity organization.

Crucially, you will be able to report to your stakeholders that your collaboration with the Center supports Siouxland’s quality of life, a drive toward diversity, free offerings for underserved communities, youth education and activities, and positive publicity for your organization.

The Center is making a conscious effort to diversify, and that aspiration extends to everything we do, from the programming and exhibits we offer to the guests we serve and the relationships we form. Critical to that mission is getting new people through our doors; to experience the Center is to love it.

As we embark on our third decade, we recognize that some of our most historically reliable funding sources are not guaranteed in perpetuity. We are determined to become more financially self-sustaining and to lay a solid financial foundation upon which the Center can thrive well into the future.

For these reasons, we are looking for novel ways to use our assets while improving our fundraising results. We believe that by collaborating with businesses, the Center can make meaningful progress toward both goals.

It fits neatly within our mission: in addition to fueling Siouxland’s economic engine and providing our citizens with jobs, area businesses have influenced our culture since before Sioux City’s founding. Siouxland business’ histories have immense cultural significance, and we at the Center are in the business of memorializing and celebrating such stories.
