Corporate Support

2010 Public Programs and Sponsorships

Corporate underwriting and memberships play a growing role in sustaining the world class beauty of Old Westbury Gardens. As a result of corporate support, the Gardens has created and grown our environmental education program for public and private schools. The largest component of our program is focused on the Westbury School District considered a high need district according to the NYS Department of Education.

Old Westbury Gardens strives to provide unique sponsorship opportunities as well as meaningful benefits to the corporate members of Long Island. Old Westbury Gardens’ premier public programs include Picnic Pops, our Midsummer Night Festival, the Scarecrows in the Gardens and a host of children’s programs from Teddy Bear Picnics to Garden Explorers.

Corporate Sponsorship is an excellent opportunity for corporations to reach new audiences, while enhancing their visibility as a partner with this important cultural landmark ranked by Forbes Traveler as one of the Ten Most Beautiful Gardens in the World.

Our corporate memberships offer opportunities to host events in Westbury House, Orchard Hill or in the Gardens. Depending on your corporate needs, this offers an opportunity to entertain clients in a unique, world class setting.

Below are listed sponsorship and membership opportunities. For additional information on becoming a Corporate Sponsor at Old Westbury Gardens, please contact Doreen Banks by EMAIL or (516) 333-0048 Ext. 335.
