Strong Partnership Network The California Historical Society actively partners with other cultural institutions such as the Santa Monica History Museum and collaborates on initiatives like storytelling projects, presenting opportunities to establish joint ventures, sponsorships, or co-branded educational programs.

Grant-Driven Funding With recent receipt of a $5 million state grant aimed at transforming history education, there is potential to offer specialized educational tools, digital content, or event services aligned with grant-funded initiatives to support and enhance these programs.

Digital Engagement Opportunities The CHS leverages technology like Shopify and social media platforms indicating an interest in digital storytelling and online outreach, creating avenues for selling digital memberships, virtual exhibits, or immersive educational content.

Educational Program Expansion The organization’s focus on supporting California’s history through partnerships and projects presents an opportunity to pitch customized curriculum materials, virtual learning solutions, or event platforms tailored to K-12 and higher education markets.

Community Content Contributions Their public history projects that solicit stories and photos from the community open avenues for user-generated content platforms, digital archive solutions, or storytelling tools that can enhance community engagement and expand content monetization strategies.
