Smithsonian Institution

Tribute gift in someone’s honor

The Smithsonian allows a donor to make a gift in honor or memory of someone and says the honoree can be notified with a special card.

Confirm current price with the seller

Donation amount is chosen by the donor. Confirm the current giving route, acknowledgment and notification process with the Smithsonian before completing the gift.

Why consider it?

Think about
their everyday life.

Someone who values museums, research, education or cultural preservation and would appreciate a charitable tribute rather than a physical object.

A useful gift fits the person as well as the occasion. Ask when a detail is uncertain.

Location & eligibility

Check where
it can be used.

U.S.-based charitable gift to the Smithsonian; recognition and tax treatment follow Smithsonian and U.S. rules

Check currency, taxes, delivery charges, expiry and booking requirements as applicable.

Before choosing

A few questions
to keep close.

  1. Use the Smithsonian’s current giving route and confirm that the donation can be designated in honor or memory as intended.
  2. Check what notification information the Smithsonian requires for the honoree and do not assume the donation buys admission, membership or a particular programme benefit.
  3. For any tax claim, use the Smithsonian’s current acknowledgment and applicable tax advice rather than treating the gift amount as automatically deductible in every jurisdiction.
