Spring Member Drive—Midpoint Challenge! Support Your Smithsonian.

Dear Friend,

Yesterday, we kicked off a 48-hour push to get our Spring Member Drive back on track.

I’m so grateful to everyone who has confirmed their Friends of the Smithsonian membership in the last 24 hours. But time is running out, and we still need a few more caring, curious lifelong learners to help us activate 75 memberships before midnight tonight.

Activate your membership now and join members across the country who have already claimed their discount!

Friend, this is your chance to change the trajectory of our Spring Member Drive. Plus, you can activate your Friends of the Smithsonian membership right now at the discounted rate of just $65 —a savings of $15 off our standard Scholar rate—or explore other levels with discounts up to $250 off!

As a Friend of the Smithsonian, your membership will help knowledge bloom by supporting all 21 Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo, powering everything from our world-class exhibitions and educational programs to our groundbreaking research and scientific discovery.

Claim your membership now, before this 48-hour challenge ends at midnight. Your gift will keep the Smithsonian thriving this year and for future generations to come.

Sincerely,
