A Message of Gratitude

Dear friend,

As the holidays approach, I send warm greetings to you and your families.

Thanks to you, the Smithsonian continues to grow and evolve—to meet the moment and bring stories of hope to homes and communities nationwide.

We are honored to be part of your lives through exhibitions that explore art, science, music and history; programs that engage and empower communities; research to understand and protect the natural world; and more.

All this, and more, is made possible by you.

Your support enables us to think bigger; to find solutions for a sustainable planet, expand understanding of the nation’s history and bring wonder to every home and classroom.

I truly believe that, together, we can create a brighter shared future for all.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Lonnie G. Bunch III
Secretary
