It’s the final day of our 2025 Year-End Challenge, but we still haven't met our goal of raising $300,000 to provide critical operating funds for the Smithsonian. We need your support to meet our goal before time runs out.

With just hours remaining until we close the book on 2025, we really need supporters like you to step up to the challenge. Will you make your tax-deductible gift before midnight tonight?

We have ambitious plans to discover and share knowledge far and wide in 2026—as only the Smithsonian can—but we need your partnership to make it happen. Your tax-deductible gift will set the stage for 2026 and help fuel innovation, exploration, and discovery for years to come.

Donors to the Smithsonian—caring, curious people like you—have made wonders happen over the past year, from nurturing endangered species like black-footed ferrets to uncovering ancient brines on asteroid Bennu that may hold the secrets to life’s very beginnings. Your tax-deductible Challenge support will truly go a long way in making 2026 just as full of curiosity, discovery, and knowledge!
