Shape the Future of Exploration
The Charleston Planetarium soft-launched in March 2025. The planetarium marks a bold new chapter for education and culture in Charleston, South Carolina. Nestled inside the Citadel Mall, this visionary space is a launchpad for STEM learning and cosmic curiosity, anchored by a fully immersive, 360-degree digital dome theater that invites guests to journey through the stars and beyond. The Charleston Planetarium Society is on a mission to bring the wonders of the solar system, the universe, and hands-on STEM experiences to the Lowcountry — igniting imagination, curiosity, and exploration in learners of all ages.

What official status are you offering?
We are offering sponsors the opportunity to be recognized as Official Supporters of our non-profit planetarium. Depending on the sponsorship tier, this may include designation as a Lunar Sponsor, Planetary Sponsor, or Constellation Sponsor. Each title comes with exclusive recognition across our materials, including digital media, events, tickets, and signage within the planetarium.
Is this an exclusive opportunity? Where will the sponsor name and logo appear?
Our Constellation Sponsor tier is limited to one organization and receives top billing on all promotional materials, event tickets, and signage. Our Planetary Sponsors (mid-tier) are limited to eight organizations and receive prominent placement, just below the Constellation Sponsor. Our Lunar Sponsors (entry tier) are limited to twelve organizations and receive foundational recognition with logo placement on select materials.
Can sponsors use our logo?
Yes! Approved sponsors are welcome to use our official planetarium logo in their marketing, public relations, and internal communications to highlight their support. We’ll provide a brand kit with logo files and simple guidelines to ensure consistent and professional use. Sharing their partnership with us not only strengthens their brand but also helps amplify our shared mission of science and education.
