Gift Planning

Build your legacy by supporting Smithsonian Associates’ mission with a gift in your estate.

Planned giving offers a meaningful opportunity to support Smithsonian Associates' mission of providing lifelong learning experiences, while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your heirs. By making a legacy gift, you play a key role in sustaining our vibrant community of lifelong learners for generations to come.

Most legacy giving opportunities enable you to:

  • Retain control of your assets during your lifetime.
  • Change your beneficiaries at any time.
  • Provide for loved ones and one of the largest education programs in the world.
  • Make your gift in honor or memory of a loved one.
  • Designate your gift intent to benefit Smithsonian Associates.
  • Leave a gift of any size.
  • Receive invitations to special programs and learning experiences.
