sponsor a program

Each year the Tenement Museum creates new exhibits and programs that connect our visitors to the history of immigration. Our work includes tours and physical interpretations of the immigrant experience, educational programs for kindergarten through 12th grade students, programs for contemporary immigrant families, and building preservation activities. Any of these programs can be sponsored annually or be a part of a named endowment.
