This Giving Tuesday (December 2), we invite you to support the Washington Pavilion with a personal financial contribution. Your gift, of any amount, demonstrates your belief in the power of the arts and sciences to educate, entertain and enrich lives.

• $500 could support a local artist showcasing their work through a Visual Arts Center exhibition.
• $250 could fund a field trip for a local school to experience the Kirby Science Discovery Center.
• $150 could support a local student pursuing their passion for theatre through Spotlight Theatre Company.
• $50 could support programming at Free First Friday events.
• $25 could provide materials for hands-on demonstrations at the Science on Wheels carts.

Every day, the Pavilion opens its doors to curious children, creative minds and lifelong learners who experience something extraordinary because of your generosity. Your support fuels this mission, ensuring we can continue to serve as a vibrant hub for culture and discovery in Sioux Falls and beyond.

Giving is easy! Text SDGives to 50155 to give online or mail your check to 301 S. Main Ave, Sioux Falls, SD 57104.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Washington Pavilion is able to integrate art and science into the daily lives of thousands of people through high-quality programming, education and outreach. We are thrilled to announce our ambitious multi-year campaign to secure $30 million in endowment funds by 2030, and we invite you to be part of this transformative journey.

The Washington Pavilion launched the Legacy Giving Program in 2018 to formally recognize and honor donors who make a commitment to the future support of the Washington Pavilion through a planned gift. These individuals help ensure that the Washington Pavilion is around for future generations and serves as an inspiration for others to do the same.
