SERIOUSLY AMAZING®
People: Our Greatest Treasure

At the Smithsonian, our rich and vast collections 

differentiate us from every other museum on the 

planet, but it is our people that truly distinguish us. 

From astrophysics and American art to sociology 

and zoology, they represent a staggering breadth of 

knowledge and depth of commitment, yet the most 

exciting thing to watch is what happens when they 

come together across disciplines.

In this year’s report, we present portraits of a few of the curators, builders, 

researchers, educators, museum directors and philanthropists who have brought 

the Smithsonian such renown. Their passion is contagious and, once applied, 

leads to a purpose that not only creates new knowledge but propels it outside our 

walls. They are polymaths—thinkers, dreamers and doers who envision new ways 

to educate, reimagine existing museums and build brand new ones—yet their 

attention to nuance is so great that it has led to the discovery of new species.

It takes more than 6,000 dedicated people to run the Smithsonian’s museums, 

national programs and research centers, here and across the globe. That does not 

even take into account the thousands more donors and volunteers who faithfully 

support our work. I am grateful to them all, and I am proud to stand with them in 

service to our nation and the world.

History Museum anthropologist Matthew Tocheri and local collaborators digitize 

the cave and excavations. Visit the cave online at 3d.si.edu; read more about

Smithsonian-Wide: We Build, Share, Connect

Derek Ross

Museum builder

As chief of construction, Derek 

Ross directs a team of 31 architects, 

engineers and skilled construction 

managers who work on every 

Smithsonian physical structure. He’s 

the one in charge, and that means 

building, altering, renovating and 

repairing the spaces that house 

irreplaceable collections and making 

sure the work gets done on time and 

on budget. First among his current 

challenges? Delivering the African 

American History and Culture 

museum, the only national museum 

of its kind, due to open in 2016.

Karen Weiss, Barbara Aikens

Off shelves, online

Recipients of the Secretary’s Digital 

Enterprise Award for 2013, Karen 

Weiss and Barbara Aikens have 

done a tremendous service to 

art researchers everywhere and 

propelled the Archives of American 

Art into the digital 21st century. 

Aided by two multimillion-dollar 

Terra Foundation grants, Weiss and 

Aikens lead a team that has placed 

more than 100 archival collections 

online, giving scholars access to 

the papers of celebrated American 

artists such as Thomas Eakins and 

Jackson Pollock, as well as records 

from the historic 1913 Armory Show.

Ashley Naranjo, Stevie Engelke

Young people and experts connect

Earning badges for individual 

achievement is a rite of passage 

familiar to many American youths. 

Stevie Engelke and Ashley Naranjo of 

the Smithsonian Center for Learning 

and Digital Access take that concept 

online with Smithsonian Quests, 

an interactive program that gives 

students prompts for learning inside 

the museums and out, connects them 

to experts and awards badges for art, 

history, culture and science projects. 

Currently, Smithsonian Quests has 

3,700-plus registered users who 

experienced an “aha” moment and 

earned nearly 4,500 badges.

Fellows bring fresh approaches

In 2013, the Smithsonian hosted 

three Presidential Innovation Fellows, 

technology entrepreneurs recruited 

to the public sector with the help of 

private support. The fellows helped 

digitize more of the Smithsonian’s 

137 million objects and make them 

easier for searchers to locate. Sarah 

Allen and Jason Shen played key roles 

in the launch and rapid expansion of 

the Smithsonian Transcription Center, 

where more than 1,000 volunteers 

worldwide now lend a hand by tran-

scribing handwritten or typed archival 

documents, such as diaries, field 

books and specimen sheets, making 

them searchable. Diego Mayer-Cantu, 

meanwhile, explored ways to increase 

the rate of digitization and collab-

orated with private companies to 

develop novel ideas and processes 

for the Smithsonian. The trio also 

convened a “civic hackathon” at the 

American Art Museum and engaged 

the public in reimagining the Luce 

Foundation Center for American Art’s 

digital kiosks. ▲

The Smithsonian embraces digital 

technology to make its collections 

more accessible to the world

Through the work of a talented Digitization 

Program Office team led by Günter Waibel, 

Vincent Rossi and Adam Metallo, people the 

world over can not only see iconic Smithsonian 

artifacts online at 3d.si.edu, they can also 

rotate them to view their every angle or print 

them out in 3-d and hold them in their hands. 

Online visitors will find objects in the Smithsonian 

x 3d Collection that have been laser-scanned 

with painstaking care to yield perfect detail; 

they can get a close-up view of the Wright Flyer 

engine or the pistil and stamens of a fragile 

orchid. Representing a new milestone in the 

Smithsonian’s ability to broaden public access 

to its collections, Smithsonian x 3d provides 

images of Lincoln’s last life mask so detailed that 

users can see every line the war etched on his face.

In partnership with lead sponsor Autodesk, 

the Smithsonian harnesses the latest technology 

to let virtual visitors get a 360-degree look 

at objects that once they could only see in 

Washington and under glass.

Laser Cowboys Pioneer 

3-D Capture

A digitization office and National Portrait 

Gallery team laser scan Lincoln’s 1865 life mask. 

It is part of the pilot group of three-dimensional 

collection objects hosted on Smithsonian x 3d, 

which demonstrates the power and potential 

of 3-d capture technology.

History and Culture: Who We Are, How We Got Here

Richard Kurin

America, in 101 objects

Described as a Renaissance man, 

Smithsonian Under Secretary for 

History, Art, and Culture Richard 

Kurin has a sage’s knowledge of 

the Institution that started with his 

first job here in 1976. He shares this 

expertise with the reading public in 

The Smithsonian’s History of America 

in 101 Objects. As the title suggests, 

Kurin and a team of scholars have 

selected Smithsonian artifacts as 

iconic as the Star-Spangled Banner 

and as obscure as a 500-millionyear-old fossil to engage people with 

the nation’s story in a fun, novel way.

Ann McMullen

Glimpses of ancient America

Anthropologist Ann McMullen, an 

expert in Native North America and 

curator for the American Indian 

Museum, expanded her portfolio with 

the stunning exhibition, Cerámica de 

los Ancestros: Central America’s Past 

Revealed. Collaborating with George 

Mason University’s Alexander Benitez 

and the Smithsonian Latino Center, 

she helped tell the story of Central 

America’s vibrant ancestral heritage 

through the ceramics of its complex 

civilizations. The exhibition marked 

two museum firsts—sharing its 

remarkable ceramics, and presenting 

its first bilingual Spanish exhibition.

Christopher Wilson

History’s summits

Christopher Wilson, an American 

History Museum historian wellversed in topics as varied as early 

20th-century agriculture and 19thcentury baseball, connects students 

to scholars and history-making 

participants through his National 

Youth Summits programs. Focused 

on middle and high school students, 

the webcast panels spark national 

conversation about past events that 

resonate still; the 2013 Dust Bowl 

summit shared a discussion by 

Ken Burns, Dust Bowl survivors 

and others with classrooms coast 

to coast.

John L. Gray

Reimagining the nation’s 

history museum

With a background as a banker and 

an interest in transforming museums 

through support of scholarship and 

education, the American History 

Museum’s Elizabeth MacMillan 

Director John Gray stakes out a clear 

vision of what’s ahead for the place 

where America comes to visit its 

heritage. Under Gray’s leadership, 

the museum is reimagining its 

three-floor West Wing. Plans for the 

now-shuttered 120,000-square-foot 

space include multimedia exhibitions 

and programs on the themes of 

Innovation and American Enterprise, 

Democracy and the Peopling of 

America and American Identity 

and Culture. Gray’s museum is also 

building in dynamic education and 

performance spaces, like Liberty 

Square, where visitors can join in 

lively civic discourse. As keeper 

of the keys to more than 3 million 

artifacts, including the iconic StarSpangled Banner, Gray intends to 

use these objects to tell an inclusive, 

respectful and compassionate story 

of all peoples of America. ▲

Grand home opens for unparalleled 

national collection

As a result of one man’s passion, the Postal 

Museum opened the world’s largest space 

dedicated to displaying stamps. Philatelist and 

philanthropist William H. Gross is the primary 

benefactor of the eponymous, 12,000-squarefoot gallery whose Massachusetts Avenue 

façade is a wall of windows, lighting the night 

with reproductions of historic U.S. stamps. 

Opened September 22, 2013, the William H. Gross 

Stamp Gallery shows a cover postmarked from 

the Titanic, a letter to John Hancock mailed July 

4, 1776 and even mail postmarked on the moon. 

The history of the United States Postal Service 

is told in six thematic areas, and pullout frames 

house more than 20,000 objects, including 

thousands of stamps—engraved miniatures 

that commemorate America’s story—that have 

never before been placed on public display. 

The gallery also tells the story of those men 

and women who delivered the mail, as well as 

the many modes of transportation they used 

to persevere through wind, rain and hail. Finally, 

our postal artifacts have a space worthy of the 

heritage they reflect.

Donor Puts Stamp on 

Stunning New Gallery 

Fifty-four large-scale reproductions of historic 

U.S. stamps make up the Windows Into America

exhibition and create a dramatic nighttime 

façade for the world’s largest stamp gallery.

Science: We Bring New Knowledge to the World

Kristofer Helgen

Mammal sleuth

Smithsonian zoologist Kris Helgen 

solved a century-old case of mistaken 

identity when he discovered that a 

mammal long thought to be one type 

of carnivore was, in fact, a completely 

new species. The Olinguito, a native 

of Colombia and Ecuador described 

as a cross between a house cat and 

teddy bear, hid in plain site in natural 

history museum collections until 

Helgen finally found it in the wild and 

properly identified it, making it the 

first carnivore species discovered in 

the Americas in 35 years.

Time takes its place in history

Four curators from two Smithsonian 

museums—Air and Space and 

American History— came together 

to create Time and Navigation: The 

Untold Story of Getting From Here to 

There. It turns out that knowing the 

time is essential for determining 

position. The curators, working with 

their respective teams, show how 

revolutions in timekeeping influ-

enced the science of wayfaring. As 

the exhibit informs us, the handheld 

devices we depend on every day are 

the result of centuries of innovation.

Kelly Chance

Smog spotting

A senior physicist at the Smithsonian 

Astrophysical Observatory, Kelly 

Chance received the Secretary’s 2013

Innovative Spirit Award—and a NASA 

Earth Venture Instrument Project 

award—for his work on TEMPO 

(Tropospheric Emissions: Monitor-

ing of Pollution). A first-of-its-kind, 

space-based instrument, TEMPO will 

measure North America’s atmospheric 

pollution from Mexico City to Canada 

and deliver data hourly, leading to 

more effective emission-control strat-

egies. The project’s educational com-

ponent will engage college students in 

research and feature a k-12 curriculum.

Emmett Duffy

Global connector

Emmett Duffy is taking the pulse of 

the coastal ocean, and not a moment 

too soon. Why do healthy coasts 

matter? Because half of the oxygen 

we breathe comes from the ocean, 

and three-quarters of the world’s 

population lives within 100 miles of 

a coastline. Our big fish and coral 

reefs face threats and the danger of 

extinction. Marine ecologist Duffy 

directs the Tennenbaum Marine 

Observatories Network, a long-term 

project that is establishing sites 

to study changing coastal marine 

biodiversity and coastal ecosystems 

that eventually will circle the globe. 

Duffy and his scientist teams will 

monitor water quality, temperature, 

acidification and other signs, and 

conduct networked experiments 

across the globe, to shed light on 

the impact humans are having on 

the ocean and ocean life. As for 

the data the project yields, they 

will inform marine environmental 

policy for generations and guide the 

restoration of coastal health.

Multimedia exhibition celebrates DNA 

and sequencing the human genome

James Watson and Francis Crick discovered 

DNA’s structure 60 years ago, and since the 

human genome was completely sequenced a 

decade ago, genomic science has transformed 

medicine, society and the way we understand 

the world around us. To celebrate these 

anniversaries and help the public understand 

genomics and its significance in everyday 

life, the Smithsonian and the National Institutes 

of Health collaborated on the multimedia 

exhibition, Genome: Unlocking Life’s Code.

Developed by Natural History Museum and 

Human Genome Research Institute experts, 

the exhibition has plenty of serious science 

yet uses the latest in interactive technology to 

make learning fun. Visitors discover their unique 

traits, see how much information a molecularsized genome carries and learn how genetic, 

environmental and random factors combine 

to influence an individual’s risk for a specific 

disease. The exhibition, supported by the Life 

Technologies Foundation, explains how genomes 

connect all life on the planet and showcases the 

museum-led Global Genome Initiative, whose 

goal is to sequence the DNA of every organism 

on Earth. 

Unlocking Life’s Code 

A group of young 

visitors views elements 

of the human genome 

projected onto a model

Art: Traditional, Transcendent, Transformative

E. Carmen Ramos

Fresh perspectives

Influenced by the culturally-specific 

museums in her native New York 

City, American Art Museum curator 

for Latino art E. Carmen Ramos 

used those memories to powerful 

effect. Her exhibition, Our America: 

The Latino Presence in American Art, 

presented 72 works by leading U.S. 

Latino artists, many of whom came 

of age during and after the Civil 

Rights Movement. They actively 

shaped the movements of their day 

and created new images of their 

communities, challenging what it 

means to be both “American” 

and “Latino.”

Lee Glazer

Tale of two cities

Connoisseurs of James McNeill Whistler 

can thank the Freer Gallery’s Lee 

Glazer and her colleagues at Wayne 

State University for providing an 

intimate, online look at a Smithsonian 

treasure and the most famous dining 

room on two continents. The aptly 

named The Story of the Beautiful: Freer, 

Whistler & Their Points of Contact

website offers 360-degree views of the 

artist’s Peacock Room masterpiece as 

it looked in the Victorian London home 

of Frederick Leyland and in 1908, when 

Smithsonian benefactor Charles Freer 

reinstalled it in Detroit as a showcase 

for his subtly glazed Asian ceramics.

Seb Chan

When code is art

Innovator and media expert Seb Chan, 

responsible for nothing less than 

Cooper Hewitt’s complete digital 

renewal and re-imagining, also 

acquired the first work of digital code 

for the museum’s collection. The 

iPad music app Planetary uses the 

visual metaphor of celestial bodies; 

planets represent albums and moons 

represent songs, with the brightness 

and position of each varying 

according to frequency of playback. 

As part of its preservation strategy—

and with the developer’s blessing—

the app’s underlying source code has 

been publicly released.

Kate Haw, Kim Sajet, 

Caroline Baumann

Focus on the future

A trio of highly credentialed and 

artistically minded women took 

the helm of Smithsonian art 

establishments this year, charged 

with engaging visitors and shaping 

collections and spaces to conform 

with their changing use. Kate 

Haw, new head of the Archives 

of American Art, is building the 

Archives’ collections, emphasizing 

the 1960s and 1970s, and continuing 

the research center’s work of 

digitizing and putting online its 

millions of documents for broader 

public access. The National Portrait 

Gallery’s Kim Sajet is focusing on 

positioning the museum as a place 

where thought and conversation 

prevail and where audiences are 

active participants in using museum 

holdings to better understand 

American identity. Meanwhile, at 

Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design 

Museum, Caroline Baumann is 

completing the museum’s ambitious 

renovation. It will deliver, in late 

2014, an experience like no other and 

expand visitors’ understanding of 

historic and contemporary design. ▲

A generous public funds a revealing 

look at yoga’s visual legacy

A first-of-its-kind exhibition showed visitors 

that yoga not only disciplines the mind but also 

delights the eye. Yoga: The Art of Transformation, 

curated by Debra Diamond at the Arthur M. 

Sackler Gallery, explored the ways in which 

yoga transforms the body as well as its dramatic 

effects on consciousness. Using more than 

130 artworks that included stone and bronze 

sculptures, lavishly illustrated manuscripts and 

intricate paintings dating from the third to the 

19th century, the exhibition illustrated yoga’s 

central tenets and forgotten histories, such as 

yogi armies and yogi spies.

The exhibition also marked the Smithsonian’s 

first major foray into crowdfunding. During 

the 41-day Together We’re One campaign, 

640 donors contributed more than $176,000. 

The outpouring of support funded shipping 

artworks from around the world, as well 

as staging public lectures, concerts and yoga 

classes. The enthusiasm went beyond 

philanthropy, as more than 200 volunteers 

signed up to promote the exhibition throughout their communities.

Art That Informs the 

Mind and Body

The exhibition considered yoga’s goals, 

its transformations across centuries 

and the beauty and profundity of 

the Indian art it has inspired. Detail,

Education: Interactive, Online and Hands-On

Claudine Brown

Open dialogue

Assistant Secretary for Education and 

Access Claudine Brown wants people 

to participate. Using Bill & Melinda 

Gates Foundation dollars, as well as 

matching funds, she is pioneering new 

ways that the Smithsonian can engage 

with the public. My-SI, a new online 

participation venue, and Museum on 

Main Street, which travels to small 

towns across the U. S., ask visitors to 

upload their personal experiences and 

thus make them part of the American 

story. She aims, through these and 

other projects, to move learning from 

a one-way conversation to a diverse, 

national dialogue.

Peter Marra

Backyard science

Conservation biologist Pete Marra 

knows a wealth of information can 

be found in everyone’s backyard. 

Head of the Migratory Bird Center, 

Marra developed Neighborhood 

Nestwatch, a program that turns 

birdwatchers into citizen scientists. 

By enlisting volunteers to find and 

monitor backyard bird nests, then 

record their observations about the 

longevity of both birds and nests, 

Marra collects important data that 

helps him and other researchers 

answer questions about the survival 

of our best-known feathered friends.

Teens make multi-media art

At the Hirshhorn’s ARTLAB+, a 

free digital studio for D.C. youth, 

the emphasis is on changing the 

museum experience from one 

of passively consuming content to 

actively producing it. Under the 

direction of museum digital learning 

experts Ryan Hill and Amy Homma, 

ARTLAB+ borrows the professional 

design studio model; they host 

a place where teens come after 

school to brainstorm, share, explore 

museum collections and, thus 

inspired, create multi-media art 

of their own. 

Kirk Johnson

The power of personal discovery

As a young boy in Seattle, Kirk 

Johnson, now The Sant Director 

of the Natural History Museum, 

learned he had a knack for finding 

things—such as fossils and arrow 

heads—and the more he found, 

the greater his propensity for 

discovery became. As his career as a 

scientist and museum administrator 

progressed, Johnson made what 

is perhaps his most important 

discovery: the immense power of 

direct experience to turn dry facts 

into compelling stories that help 

the public understand the potential 

and impact of science. In his view, 

the museum does three things: care 

for amazing collections, uncover 

new knowledge and pique visitors’ 

curiosity, connecting them to the 

objects and scientists that make 

them want to know more. That view 

makes Johnson the perfect man for 

the job of overseeing Q?rius, the 

museum’s signature educational 

space that opened in 2013. Q?rius 

passes on his early insight: firsthand 

discovery can inspire a passion for 

science. ▲

Close encounters with fossils and 

experts spark young people’s passion 

for learning

For those who believe that all science begins with 

a question, Q?rius (pronounced “curious”), the 

new educational space at the Natural History 

Museum, is a must-see destination. Designed 

to connect tweens and teens to science, the 

interactive environment uses more than 6,000

museum objects and the personal passion of 

researchers to spark discovery in those critical age 

groups. At Q?rius, learning is both experimental 

and personal; students can access age-old fossils, 

minerals and bones, or watch live Internet feeds 

from field research sites all over the world.

Open to the public on weekday afternoons and all 

day on weekends, Q?rius is otherwise reserved 

for student learning. Younger children investigate 

natural history through intriguing scientific 

challenges that can be solved with a little help 

from the museum’s world-class scientific staff. 

The brainchild of the museum’s assistant director 

for education and outreach, Shari Werb, and a 

strong team, Q?rius was funded in part by the 

Margaret A. Cargill Foundation, Elizabeth and 

Whitney MacMillan and Barbara and Craig Barrett.

Philanthropy: Deeply Engaged, Wholly Invested

Morton and Barbara Mandel 

Family Foundation

Support for design

Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design 

Museum board chair Barbara 

Mandel and her husband, Morton, 

know that great design has the 

power to change individuals and 

communities. That belief, combined 

with their deep commitment to the 

museum, has led them to make a 

transformative gift through their 

foundation. The gift, the museum’s 

largest ever, supports digitization, 

other key initiatives and a gallery in 

the museum’s Carnegie Mansion 

home, to be named for the donors.

Patrick F. Taylor Foundation

Tell our American story

As a member of the Smithsonian 

National Board and chair of the New 

Orleans foundation she founded 

with her late husband, Phyllis Taylor 

understands the vital importance 

of education to the nation. The 

foundation’s gift to the American 

History Museum not only endows a 

series of k-12 educational programs, 

but also supports the Object Project, 

an interactive learning space named 

for the foundation, which will engage 

families in hands-on learning about 

the impact of American fashion, food 

and leisure.

Thomas W. Haas Foundation

Stargazing legacy

Thomas Haas’ grandmother taught 

him about the magic of stargazing. 

Phoebe Waterman Haas, raised on 

the North Dakota frontier, was one 

of the first women to earn a Ph.D. 

in astronomy. In her memory, the 

Thomas W. Haas Foundation has 

given a gift to the Air and Space 

Museum—its largest gift ever for 

science education—that will help 

rebuild the Observatory and endow 

astronomy education programs for 

museum visitors and D.C. public 

school students.

Ken Chenault

Museum champion

Ken Chenault, CEO of American 

Express Company, also serves as 

the chair of the campaign to build 

the National Museum of African 

American History and Culture. He 

believes that America was built on 

dreams, on innovation and creativity 

and on diversity. He has been a 

tireless champion of the museum, 

and the gifts that he and his wife 

Kathryn have made are a testimony 

to their deep personal belief in 

it. The museum will be a place 

that tells a story this impassioned 

volunteer believes is largely missing 

from American history and that 

the nation and the world need to 

hear: that African Americans were 

torchbearers in the fight for freedom, 

a struggle that is still ongoing across 

the globe. Chenault is personally 

excited about one of the museum’s 

founding goals, to encourage visitors, 

both online and in-person, to enter 

into a dialogue about race and 

culture, which will lead to greater 

understanding of and appreciation 

for one another. ▲

drivers and curators 

to short-order cooks 

and superstars, have 

their eye on a structure 

rising up adjacent 

to the Washington 

Monument: the National Museum of African 

American History and Culture. Philanthropic 

support is critical to the Smithsonian’s 19th 

museum, and this year it received a landmark 

gift for one of its largest spaces from The Oprah 

Winfrey Charitable Foundation. 

A member of the museum’s Council, and already 

a Founding Donor for a previous major gift, 

Winfrey’s foundation granted the funds for a 350-

seat theater, which will be named in her honor. 

The gifts make her the museum’s single largest 

donor. The theater will be a national forum for 

artists, educators, scholars and opinion leaders, 

and its offerings will share the broader American 

story with visitors from all over the world.

Strong forward momentum and 

active engagement characterized the 

Smithsonian and its governing Board 

of Regents in 2013.

The Board committed itself to strengthening the 

Smithsonian’s financial resources. Its Congressional 

Regents supported efforts to secure scarce federal 

resources, and a leadership team of Citizen Regents 

guided the Smithsonian Campaign, which also 

benefited from the Board’s close relationship with the 

Smithsonian’s many advisory boards. The Regents’ 

expertise contributed to the solid management of the 

Endowment and the success of new business initiatives.

Enhancing physical and virtual access to Smithsonian 

resources embodies James Smithson’s pledge to 

further the “increase and diffusion of knowledge.” An 

ad hoc Regents’ campus master planning committee 

provided long-term planning for the Smithsonian’s 

physical infrastructure, and the Board contributed to 

the Smithsonian digital enterprise that is strengthening 

the Institution’s reach and operational architecture.

In 2013, the Board maintained continuity in its 

leadership: Board and Executive Committee Chair 

France A. Córdova and Vice Chair John W. McCarter, 

Jr., were reelected and Shirley Ann Jackson was 

reappointed to the Executive Committee. The Board 

also welcomed new Regents Barbara M. Barrett of 

Arizona and Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma. 

The 2014 leadership team includes Board 

and Executive Committee Chair John McCarter, 

Vice Chair Shirley Ann Jackson, and Executive 

Committee Member David M. Rubenstein. John 

Fahey of Washington, D.C., and Risa J. LavizzoMourey of Pennsylvania were appointed Citizen 

Regents in February 2014, replacing, respectively, 

Regents Emeriti Roger W. Sant and Patricia Q. 

Stonesifer. The search for a successor to France 

Córdova, who was appointed director of the 

National Science Foundation, is underway. 

The Board strongly supports the vision and the 

leadership of Secretary Wayne Clough. In response to 

his September 2013 announcement that he intends to 

Board of Regents Report

Fiscal year ending September 30, 2013

step down at the end of 2014, the Regents undertook 

a search for the next Smithsonian Secretary. On 

March 9, 2014, the Board elected David J. Skorton, 

president of Cornell University and a board-certified 

cardiologist, as the 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian, 

effective July 2015. 

The collaborative relationship between the Board 

and the Smithsonian’s leadership is a template for 

sound, effective governance that will ensure an orderly 

transition and guide the Institution for years to come.

Endowment Report

Fiscal year ending September 30, 2013

The Smithsonian’s endowment objective is to generate 

sufficient returns over the long term to provide stable 

and growing payouts, with an acceptable level of risk. 

Over the past 10 years, the Endowment grew from 

$638 million to $1,173.9 million, with annual net investment returns of 7.5 percent. Annual payout from the 

Endowment increased from $34.3 million 10 years ago 

to $55.3 million for this fiscal year, providing a cumulative $447 million for program support and operations. 

In 2013, receipts from gifts and bequests added $27.9

million to the Endowment. 

The Endowment continues to benefit from its 

broad diversification and active management. The 

asset allocation represents a higher overall allocation 

to equities, investments in marketable alternatives 

to reduce risk and real asset investments to provide 

attractive returns and a hedge against inflation. 

Performance consistently compares favorably against 

the policy benchmark, which represents a blend of 

asset-weighted indices in the portfolio.

Financial Report

Fiscal year ending September 30, 2013

The Smithsonian finished the year in sound financial 

position, benefitting from the continuing performance 

of its operations. Sustained strength in grants and 

contributions along with the strong performance of the 

endowment portfolio led to an overall increase of $202

million in net assets during the year.

The Smithsonian receives funding from federal 

government appropriations, other governmental 

entities and private sources. Public dollars conserve 

our national collections, sustain basic research, 

educate the public, provide for administrative and 

support services and operate, maintain and protect 

the large Smithsonian museum and research complex.

Private funds leverage federal dollars and are 

an investment in the Smithsonian’s people, places, 

programs and treasures. Private funds provide the 

critical difference for endowing positions, carrying 

out innovative research, developing and building 

new facilities, opening ground-breaking exhibitions, 

reaching out to America’s diverse communities and 

expanding and strengthening national collections. 

The 2013 annual audit was by KPMG LLP. To request 

audited financial statements, contact the Office of 

Finance and Accounting at 202.633.7250.

Philanthropy Report

Fiscal year ending September 30, 2013

truck designed to visit 

locations across the nation. 

The exhibition introduces 

visitors of all ages to the complex bond between 

humans and animals in the home, on the farm, in the 

wild, at zoos and in veterinary clinics. It was created 

to mark the 150th anniversary of the American 

Veterinary Medical Association, with expertise from 

the National Zoological Park and animal research 

facilities nationwide. This is the first Zoetis gift 

to the Smithsonian and the Smithsonian Institution 

Traveling Exhibition Service.

James Smithson Society

 And Friends of the Smithsonian

Members of the highest-level, 

Smithsonian-wide giving circle set a 

personal example of philanthropic 

leadership through their annual dues 

and gifts. 

Their membership privileges and benefits give them 

an insider’s understanding of Institution priorities and 

initiatives, while their support helps the Smithsonian 

present 90 new exhibitions a year, preserve the 

nation’s treasures and share the Institution’s learning 

globally using technology. In 2013, four Washington, 

D.C. Food for Thought luncheons brought members 

together with museum directors and curators, while 

gatherings in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, 

New York, Atlanta and Anchorage engaged members 

in the work of the Smithsonian in their home 

communities. The Annual Smithsonian Weekend in 

September brought attendees from 28 states to the 

National Mall for three days of exclusive lectures, 

tours and receptions, capped by an evening at the 

National Zoo with Secretary Clough and Regents 

Barbara Barrett and David Rubenstein. For the 

second year, the event included high-level members 

from other Smithsonian museums and programs. 

At year end, 453 Smithson Society members from 

48 states had contributed nearly $1.8 million, and 

many also had made additional gifts to Smithsonian 

museums, research centers and programs.

Friends of the Smithsonian 

Friends establish enduring ties with the Institution 

through their membership, and their dues and gifts 

provide general support, which has great positive 

impact. Friends’ 80,449 member households 

contributed $12.9 million in 2013. Members received 

many benefits and were invited to exclusive 

activities, including an evening visit to the Steven 

F. Udvar-Hazy Center to see the Space Shuttle 

Discovery, a director’s lecture at the Smithsonian 

Libraries and after-hour tours and receptions at the 

American History Museum and Freer and Sackler 

Galleries. Friends in Georgia and Alaska also had 

the opportunity to attend local receptions. Through 

membership, gifts and planned gifts, Friends play a 

vital part in bringing the Smithsonian to the world.

Smithsonian National Board

Leadership, Counsel and Philanthropic Support

The Smithsonian’s Institutionwide advisory board advances the 

Smithsonian’s mission and furthers 

the goals of the strategic plan’s four 

grand challenges.

The National Board’s 39 members and more than 

175 alumni provide advice and counsel to the 

Secretary, act as ambassadors in their hometowns 

and help transform the Institution through their 

personal philanthropy and by encouraging the gifts 

of others. In its 44th year, each of the board’s three 

regular meetings in Washington, D.C. focused on 

one strategic plan grand challenge, to educate 

and inform members. Nationwide, 16 members 

and alumni in cities from Boston to Honolulu 

hosted “friend-raising” events that renewed old 

Smithsonian relationships and established new 

ones, building a valuable store of new friends and 

potential volunteers and donors. Deepening their 

own Smithsonian ties, 18 members and alumni served 

on other Smithsonian advisory boards or Board of 

Regents committees. Board members contributed 

a record $1.36 million in general support, funds that 

the Secretary may direct to emerging priorities, and 

at the fiscal year-end, National Board member and 

alumni philanthropy in total was a remarkable $24.6

million. While setting an example of what engaged 

volunteer leaders can accomplish, the board also 

affirmed its belief in the enduring value of investing in 

Smithsonian people, places, programs and treasures.
