Corporate Sponsorships
Introduction
The Peabody Essex Museum’s Corporate Sponsorship Program is a wonderful opportunity for companies to combine their philanthropic and marketing goals. Sponsorship at PEM allows your company to reach out to a large and wide-ranging audience from Boston, the North Shore and beyond.
