Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library Donation Policy

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PHILATELIC LIBRARY

Providing access to one of the largest collections of stamp-collecting literature west of the Mississippi River, the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library (RMPL) is open to all who are interested in stamp collecting. The RMPL welcomes donations of stamps, albums, accumulations, postal stationary, first day covers, philatelic literature, supplies, and other items of philatelic interest. Proceeds from the sale of donated items are used to support the mission of the RMPL and to promote and help facilitate the pursuit of stamp collecting as a hobby at all levels. Located at 2038 South Pontiac Way in Denver, Colorado, the RMPL welcomes donations during regular business hours or by appointment for significant donations. The RMPL receives donations, organizes them for sale, and markets them in our facility, on eBay, and in public auctions.

DONATING STAMPS TO THE RMPL

The RMPL is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity and eligible to receive tax-deductible donations of property, including stamps, albums, accumulations, postal stationary, first day covers, philatelic literature, supplies, and other items of philatelic interest. Donors may deduct the fair market value (FMV) of their gift as a charitable contribution on their income tax return. For tax purposes, fair market value is defined as "the price a collector would pay if buying the material for his or her own collection" . not the "price a dealer might offer if buying the material for resale.. We strongly encourage all donors to consult their tax advisor for the specific rules regarding charitable contributions.
