– Trust Fund positions are unique to the Smithsonian. They are paid from a variety of sources, including the Smithsonian endowment, revenue from our business activities, donations, and grants and contracts. Trust employees are not part of the civil service, nor does trust fund employment lead to Federal status. The salary ranges for trust positions are generally the same as for federal jobs and in many cases trust and federal employees work side by side. Trust employees have their own benefit program which is similar to the federal program. On job announcements, trust jobs are designated with the pay plans IS, HG, IL or AE. Federal jobs are designated with pay plans GS, WG or SL.
