Advance Financial Foundation recognized as museum partner through generous commitment

Adventure Science Center

The Advance Financial Foundation has been recognized as presenting partner of Adventure Science Center’s subsidized membership program through a generous annual commitment. This investment will ensure access and equity to the whole community to enjoy the world of science and technology in a fun, family friendly environment.

Subsidized memberships at Adventure Science Center (called Curiosity Level memberships) are offered to families who participate in SNAP, WIC, or TANF. Since 2017, the number of households served by these subsidized memberships has nearly doubled. Advance Financial Foundation’s partnership is critical in continuing to serve the Nashville community with affordable and accessible options.

“Because of this generous commitment, we’re able to serve more than 700 families that otherwise may not have access to the museum and its programming. We’re honored to establish this partnership with Advance Financial Foundation and are excited to move into our 75th year with this generous funding,” said Susan Hosbach, CFRE, Chief Development Officer at Adventure Science Center.
