Giving a gift in your will or living trust is one of the most popular and flexible ways
to support Smithsonian Associates. This option allows you to create a lasting legacy—without affecting your current finances.
Your will (or codicil) should be prepared by your attorney in consultation with your tax and financial advisor.
All it takes is one sentence added to your will:
I give [____% of the residue of my estate], or [the sum of ________ dollars] to Smithsonian Associates in Washington, D.C., for its general purposes [or program]. Tax ID: #53-0206027
This type of donation to Smithsonian Associates helps ensure your lasting support of our
mission to provide insightful and enriching programs for learners of all ages—now and for generations to come.
