Of the total nonappropriated contribution, approximately $27,500,000 has been raised to date from a variety of sources. This sum includes gifts and pledges which have been received from a broad range of donors, including individuals, foundations, domestic as well as foreign corporations, foreign governments. Also included is a commitment of over $9,000,000 from the net revenues of Smithsonian auxiliary activities over a multiyear period.
