Qualifying contributions confer membership for one calendar year and entitle two people to participate in all events.
Travel around the world with curators, enjoy private lectures or tours each month, receive discounts at museum stores and on scholarly publications, reserve the best seats in the house for any Meyer Auditorium program...and more! Join the Friends today.
Friends make all the difference!
Most people don't realize that donations from individuals like you comprise the single largest source of the Galleries' contributed income. With declining Federal funds providing only one-third of our budget, we rely on Friends of the Freer and Sackler Galleries for support to fund our acclaimed exhibitions, inspiring concerts and films, innovative outreach programs, and ImaginAsia family workshops, all free to the public 364 days a year!
Your support will enable the Freer and Sackler Galleries to share their collections and programs with millions of visitors from around the world each year.
