"Streep's investment reflects her enduring belief in the power of amplifying women's voices. One of the museum's earliest and most steadfast supporters, her seven-figure donation will be used for the creation of dynamic storytelling experiences designed to reach audiences wherever they are, from classrooms to living rooms to the digital platforms people engage with every day."
"Since 1996, the NWHM has hosted online exhibitions and in-person activations honoring American women. While the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum continues the vital work of building a collection-based museum, NWHM carries forward its original mission as a digital-first organization dedicated to making women's history accessible to all."
Meryl Streep made a seven-figure donation to the National Women's History Museum in Washington, D.C., a digital-first organization that has championed women's history since 1996. The donation will support storytelling projects and digital programming designed to reach audiences in classrooms, homes, and online platforms. In recognition of Streep's significant gift, the museum established the Meryl Streep Educator Award to honor an outstanding women's history teacher annually. The inaugural award recipient will be announced at the museum's Women Making History Awards Gala in November. The NWHM operates as a nonpartisan nonprofit that hosts online exhibitions and in-person activations celebrating American women's contributions to history.
