Become a Sponsor

Business sponsorships are a critical part of our success.

Christmas at the Museum is our most popular event of the year, supporting our mission to preserve and share our community's history - but none of it is possible without the generosity of our event sponsors. Sponsorship enables us to cover up-front costs such as decorating and Gingerbread Competition prizes.


Sponsorship is available at the following tiers:


$100 - Lighting Sponsor

Help us light up the museum for the holidays!


$750 - Display Sponsor

Sponsor a wall display of Christmas decorations in the museum. Your business logo will be a part of the display.


$1,250 - Tree Sponsor

Sponsor one of 7 beautiful Christmas trees in the museum gallery. Your business logo will be displayed next to the tree.


$2,500 - Presenting Sponsor

Your business logo will be displayed prominently at the event and on all promotional materials.  Only three Presenting Sponsorships will be available!

Sponsor Christmas at the Museum

All of our sponsors will receive recognition on our website and social media, as well as at the event itself.  In addition, sponsors at every level will receive a complimentary one-year Business membership to the Gresham Historical Society, with Business Plus benefits at the Display level and above.


Prefer to pay via check? Email communications@greshamhistorical.org to receive an invoice.
