Thank you for your interest in partnering with the National Women's History Museum. Partnerships are central to the way we operate, and our primary partnerships are done through participation in our National Coalition, a group of more than 60 national, predominantly women’s organizations, with educational, professional and/or service missions (more information is available here). In addition to our National Coalition, Museum partnerships include the United States Mint, PBS, the George Washington University, the National Archives, and more.
Please think through ways in which we might work together, and be as specific as possible on the partnership proposal form. Please note: Equity-informed women’s history programs and related partnerships are a core organizational priority whereby we align our external work with our internal commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). DEIA is a driving force in our partnerships, community outreach efforts, and within the fields of history and civics education; partnership proposals demonstrating a strong commitment to DEIA will be prioritized.
