Partnerships with purpose
We are always on the lookout for partners who share our passion to push the boundaries of exploration.
Scaling our efforts around telling stories that change the world is critical to both how we understand our planet and its future.
Through collaboration with National Geographic Partners, the media arm of National Geographic, we have the ability to amplify the impact of our Explorers and programs through a unique combination of media, events, and experiences—reaching audiences all over the globe.
Our connections are crucial to our survival and our work is more important than ever, but we can’t do it alone. More than just a partnership, we aim to establish ongoing relationships.
Strategic and enterprise-wide corporate partnerships
We know first-hand that with support from companies like you, the opportunity to fund new research, promote conservation efforts, and inspire a new generation of Explorers is elevated. Fostering strategic corporate partnerships also gives your company the opportunity to make good on brand promises, engage your employees in exciting ways, and directly demonstrate the power of a company’s impact on our planet by helping us advance our mission. We share the same goals, and together we can help accomplish them.
Featured partnerships:
Mountains. Rainforests. The ocean. These critical Earth systems provide some of the most basic needs for life on the planet, but they are increasingly at risk due to global environmental challenges. That's why we've partnered with Rolex to support trailblazing scientific research, expeditions, and solutions to drive action to address threats to our planet.
De Beers has joined National Geographic to help with one of the biggest conservation challenges in Africa: preserving the source waters of the Delta and the lives they support. Together, we will work with local communities to protect wildlife and build sustainable livelihoods across the region.

Join our inner circle
As a nonprofit, it would be impossible for us to advance our mission alone. That’s why we invite companies that share our vision to support our work as Corporate Members. This supportive collaboration allows us to reach our goals while simultaneously helping companies reach theirs. Becoming a Corporate Member reinforces brand commitments and goals to employees, while also providing them with unique opportunities to hear directly from world-renowned National Geographic Explorers. Corporate Member employees receive exclusive benefits and privileges that provide insider access to cutting-edge exploration and discovery taking place across the globe, including:
- Invitation for your employees to experience the Society’s marquee, invite-only events virtually on-demand.
- Two invitations to attend the three marquee events live, including VIP sessions, to hear directly from National Geographic Explorers. This opportunity can be virtual.
- Key impact updates and notes from the field through a quarterly newsletter.
- 50% discount or exclusive presale opportunities for employee tickets to the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C.
- One private guided tour of a National Geographic Museum exhibition for up to 20 guests
