Corporate Partners Program

The Fleet’s new Corporate Partners Program offers corporations and foundations a new and immersive way to engage with the Fleet by investing in the community where employees, clients and stakeholders live, work and play. Partners can reach new audiences, improve brand recognition, engage clients and business partners, and reward employees, all while building vibrant science communities. With the Fleet, businesses can achieve their philanthropic, community relations, workforce development and marketing goals. Participating in the Fleet Corporate Partners program provides crucial operating support for the Fleet Science Center’s education and outreach programs that annually inspire 137,275 students in our San Diego region. Corporations and foundations are key to helping the Fleet broaden exposure of STEM throughout our region. Partnership with the Fleet will inspire the next generation of leaders and tomorrow’s workforce of critical thinkers.
