Become a Sponsor

An Invitation: Join Us

Through sponsorship, you can directly support Pasadena Heritage’s work in advocacy, education, and preservation—protecting the architectural legacy that defines Pasadena’s character.

Designed to provide meaningful visibility and alignment with one of Pasadena’s most respected cultural institutions, sponsorship offers direct exposure to an engaged audience of civic leaders, design professionals, homeowners, and community stakeholders who value Pasadena’s architectural heritage.

If your organization values design, place, and long-term community investment, this is a strong alignment opportunity.

Sponsorships are available throughout the year on all upcoming events such as lectures, walking tours, receptions, and more. Additionally, we host a selection of large events each year with specific opportunities detailed below.

Please contact Kyle Grimes if you would like to discuss the best options for you. She can be reached at kyle@pasadenaheritage.org or (626) 441-6333 ext.103.

Thank you for your support!
