  • Donations of philatelic literature are accepted for the Harry Sutherland Philatelic Library within the Foundation. Potential donations must be discussed with the Foundation to ensure the Library has a need for the material and it fits with the mission of the library.

  • Donations of stamps and postal history may be accepted by the Foundation if they are suitable for the Foundation reference collection and its use in the Expertization function.

  • Donations of exceptional historical philatelic artifacts may be accepted by the Foundation following discussion regarding their suitability and the ability of the Foundation to store and present such material.

  • Donations of philatelic literature, stamps, postal history, and historical artifacts are considered donations of material in kind. Such donations will have a certified appraisal of fair market value obtained in accordance with the rules of the Canada Revenue Agency if a charitable donation receipt is requested from the Foundation.
