The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage is grateful to our generous donors for their financial support. The Center acknowledges the generosity of donors who make a commitment of $1,000 or more to our various programs. Thank you for your loyalty as we pursue our mission of building understanding, strengthening communities, and reinforcing our shared humanity. We simply can’t do this incredible work without you.
The Center relies on private and public contributions, grants and sponsorships to support its programs. Although the Center is part of America’s national museum, the vast majority of our funding comes from program-related private and public grants, gifts, sponsorships, and bequeaths.
