How to donate
Donating your stamps is an easy and meaningful way to contribute to the preservation of philatelic history and cultural heritage. Gather the stamps you wish to donate—whether they are in albums or loose—and mail them to us using our shipping instructions.
We accept donations from anywhere in the world, and every stamp is valuable to our mission. For large collections or items of special significance, contact us so we can help determine the best way to send them. We may be able to reimburse the domestic shipping cost for a large collection.
Why donate
Each stamp carries a story and represents a small piece of history—one that can inspire and educate. Your donation helps us supply educational materials to schools, support cultural preservation, and introduce future generations to stamp collecting.
Our motto is ab vetero ad novum: from old to new. From old collections, we create new collectors.
What happens after your donation arrives
We carefully sort donated material into smaller, varied collections. This helps a teacher, club leader, or new collector receive stamps from a range of countries and time periods. Most stamps go to schools, community centers, church groups, and individual collectors. Items with unusual historical significance may be offered to a museum or specialist philatelic organization.
