Become a Member
We invite you to become a member of the SRS Heritage Foundation. As a member of the foundation, you are providing support to the SRS Museum’s operations, exhibitions, educational, and outreach programs.
Recently, the SRS Museum has joined various associations to provide members with additional benefits. An electronic membership card will be emailed to members, which will provide them with reciprocal member benefits through our affiliations with the Association of Science and Technology Centers and the Southeastern Museums Conference.
Corporate Sponsorship
The Savannah River Site Museum is appreciative of the support provided by Aiken County; however, the bulk of our funding depends on the commitment of our business sponsors. Learn more about the benefits of becoming a sponsor.
