Contributing Members 



The Contributing Membership sup- 

 ports the Institution through generous 

 annual donations and special giving 

 opportunities. Members' participation 

 enables the Smithsonian to pursue 

 specific projects and broader research, 

 acquisition, preservation, and educa- 

 tion efforts than might otherwise be 

 possible. 



Distinguished Benefactors 



The Distinguished Benefactors room 

 honors the Institution's most generous 

 contributors, those whose gifts total 

 $i million or more. Their abiding 

 vision and stewardship have preserved 

 the traditions of the Smithsonian 

 while furthering its mission. 



Following the leadership of the In- 

 stitution's founder, James Smithson, 

 they have expressed their belief in the 

 Smithsonian through their magnani- 

 mous support and represent the truest 

 spirit of philanthropy. 



Gifts are as broad and varied as 

 the work of the Institution and help 

 support museum programs, exhibi- 

 tions, capital projects, scientific 

 endeavors, and narional and regional 

 outreach activities.
