Frequently Asked Questions

Click below to see FAQs about Corporate Memberships

How is a corporate membership different than a corporate sponsorship?

A corporate membership offers less recognition than a sponsorship and no tax benefits. Businesses and organizations become members so that their employees get the benefit of enjoying the museum’s offerings, whereas businesses who sponsor are more interested in the philanthropic nature of sponsorship and the accompanying public recognition.

How is a corporate membership different from a personal/individual membership?

The primary difference between corporate and personal memberships is that corporate memberships may be “checked out” and utilized by any employee, while personal memberships have a fixed list of people who may use them and cannot be shared between households. Corporate memberships also do not include reciprocal admission benefits at participating organizations in the ASTC or ACM networks.

Do I have to be Madison-based to be eligible for corporate membership?

Not at all! We are proud to offer memberships to businesses and companies across the State of Wisconsin and beyond.

Do I have to be a certain type of business to be eligible?

No, everyone is welcome! Our members range from for-profit businesses to non-profit community entities.

I’m affiliated with a library and want to offer passes to our library patrons. Can we get a membership for the public to use? 

No, not at this time. Corporate Memberships and associated benefits/passes only apply for an entity’s employees, NOT library patrons or the public. We welcome libraries to share more information with their patrons about our Access for Everyone programs to learn about reduced price admissions.

How long do corporate memberships last?

Your membership benefits are available for one year. Adult Swim tickets and Play passes will expire on the date indicated on each pass (no less than one year from when you pledge or pay your gift).

If I pay for a corporate membership in one year, does it automatically renew the following year?

No. We do not automatically renew your corporate membership from one year to the next. We will reach out to you approximately two months before your membership expires to check in about renewing for the next year.

Can I be a corporate member and a corporate sponsor at the same time?

Absolutely! Depending on the size of your gift, we can split your gift so that you get the benefits you desire of the corporate membership and the benefits of the corporate sponsor that you desire. It’s best to give us a call at (608) 354-0534 to talk through the options.  

What is the difference between membership passes and Play passes?

Corporate Membership passes are reusable cards for any current employee and grant admission for up to six people at one time. The cards can be checked out through your HR department or given to specific employees at your discretion.

Play passes are for one time use and single admission. They can be used to supplement your available membership cards during high employee demand, used as prizes, or shared with patrons/customers/clients.

My company has a corporate membership. What do I need to bring when I visit?

You must bring a physical corporate membership card or a complimentary museum ticket with you when visiting the museum. Contact your company’s representative to pick up the card you need prior to your visit.

Can I use my employee ID instead of the corporate membership card when I visit?

No, you must present the corporate membership card when you visit.

Are there reciprocal benefits to other museums with a corporate membership? 

No, there are no reciprocal benefits to other museums with a corporate membership. Reciprocal benefits are available to individual memberships only. Select personal memberships with reciprocal benefits can be purchased at a 10% discount by employees of a corporate member.
