Support The Smithsonian Associates -- Make
a Donation Now
Contributions are absolutely critical to fulfilling The Smithsonian Associates’ mission. The Smithsonian Associates is its own entity within the Smithsonian family; however, we receive no federal funds—not
a penny. Ticket sales and other earned income cannot completely cover the costs
of underwriting The Smithsonian Associates’ numerous events, performances, and educational activities. Your support can make these programs possible.
By donating to us you:
- Make it possible for us to produce and present more than 1,000 seminars, courses, lectures, and special events each year though our Resident Associate Program
- Enable us to reach out to over 75,000 children, their parents, teachers, and schools each year through more than 30 productions by Discovery Theater
- Allow us to bring the Smithsonian’s world-renowned scholars and researchers to communities, schools, and civic organizations across the country
- Help us present the nation’s leading historians, curators, researchers, celebrated personalities, and scientists.
