Corporate Investments

The Center serves your employees and their families as well as your clients and customers.

Your company’s investment in Lake Erie Nature & Science Center will help us serve children, families and students of all ages with educational programs, classes and natural history exhibits. Investments in program and event sponsorship, employee volunteer days or off-site meetings at the Center enrich the lives of children, families and the wider community.
