Donation Opportunities |
 The G Scale Kingman Canyon Railroad, IRS Non-profit Status EIN 82-6621242, is seeking the donation of money, train engines and cars, track, scenery, buildings, model train accessories, 1/24 scale Die Cast Vehicles, layout lighting, track signaling, and G Scale Model Railroad Figures.
Donations of all scales of trains are accepted, individual items, and collections real and model. If you have a valued transportation artifact, be it books, pictures, vehicles related to railroading in general, uniforms, time-tables, lanterns or anything else, we are would be delighted to help you share it with a large number of appreciative people.
If you or someone you know has model train items that are no longer used, or are thinking of thinning a collection, please consider donating them to the Kingman Canyon Railroad as a possible tax deduction. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and can accept such charitable contributions.
Donated items may be used in a number of ways. What we cannot use we may trade with others, combine with other items for sale, sold at model railroad swap meets or raffled off at public events.
Our policy on donations is to accept them without restriction, to be used and/or sold as best suited for the Kingman Canyon Railroad. The funds received from the sale of surplus materials are used to purchase other materials or otherwise support the development of the Kingman Canyon Railroad. Original materials donated, such as photographs, may also be reproduced in future publications.
If you have a cherished item such as a classic automobile or coin collection it can be challenging to decide what to do with them. As our lives change we sometimes, regretfully, have to make difficult decisions about how to take care of things we have acquired along our journey. Simply selling these cherished items is often an unpleasant way to take care of this touchy situation. Making a donation to Kingman Canyon Railroad will esteem your gift as much as you do makes a lot of sense.

Donate Your Old Trains |
If you're contemplating getting rid of an old train set, or equipment for one, if you or someone you know has model train items that are no longer used, or are thinking of thinning a collection, please consider donating them to the Kingman Canyon Railroad Trust as a possible tax strategy.
Our primary operating scale is G but plans for the future include a toy train museum. We are always interested in donations of all scales of model railroad layouts, locomotives, rolling stock, buildings, scenery materials, tools or reference materials. |
|
|
| We are always looking for donations of all scales of trains, individual items, and collections real and model. If you have a valued transportation artifact, be it books, pictures, vehicles related to railroading in general, uniforms, time-tables, lanterns or anything else, we are would be delighted to help you share it with a large number of appreciative people.
If someone you love has passed and you are wanting to donate the collection or if you are handling the affairs of an estate, we can help. We prefer that you contact us directly at first to determine your needs, by email or you may also call us at 928 757-4626. Either way, it helps if you have some general information regarding the scale, condition and size of the collection.
For smaller collections you will need to pack them up and send them to us via the post office or UPS. Both provide pick up service. For large collections we will travel just about anywhere to pick up a collection. When we arrive, we will proceed to handle all of the packing and loading.
We do our best to make it easy on you. We want you to know your trains will be well taken care of. We respond quickly and accept everything including scenery, parts (new/broken), all scales of G, O, HO, N, Z, toys, parts, junk, track, etc.
This process will be arranged in a case-by-case basis depending on how far you are from Kingman, Arizona. Contact us and we will work with you to come up with a plan. We can provide a notice of receipt if you are planning to use the donation as a tax strategy. |

Beneficiary Designations
Are Easy and Flexible
|
|
There are many ways to give - through gifts to our Annual Fund, matching gifts, planned gifts or through donations made in tribute to a friend or family member. Your continued support ensures that we continue this tradition for generations to come. Your donations make a difference and we invite you to help us carry on our mission.
Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their will or estate. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using:
- IRAs and retirement plans
- Life insurance policies
- Commercial annuities
|
It only takes three, simple steps to make this type of gift.
- Contact your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary form.
- Decide what percentage (1 to 100) you would like us to receive and name us, along with the percentage you chose, on the beneficiary form.
- Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution.
|
Talk to your financial or legal advisor to learn which assets will or will not trigger taxable income when paid to a beneficiary.
We ask that you name us in your Wills and or Trusts as a beneficiary for real estate, stocks, bonds, or bank accounts. These can be in the form of the above, or immediate donations. There are great tax advantages for you in doing these things. Your own attorney or advisor can work with you on. Your help in these areas is one of the things that will keep our organization sound on into the future.
More lasting gifts to the Kingman Canyon Railroad can be structured through the use of estate planning. Through the Kingman Canyon Railroad Endowment Program and with the help of appropriate professionals, the Kingman Canyon Railroad can be remembered as a bequest in a will or trust.
The Kingman Canyon Railroad encourages foundations, corporations and private individuals to consider following our current supporters' by providing 100% tax deductible funding, gift donations and/or in-kind contributions to support the Kingman Canyon Railroad's capital campaign and educational & community service oriented mission, vision and goals. |

Since you're going to the store...
Most folks think operating the Kingman Canyon Railroad only takes paying the electric bill, the building rent, and maintenance on equipment, there is so much more.
A lot of money is actually spent on more mundane, yet equally important expenses such as cleaning, office, and restroom supplies, utility bills, etc. |
Think of the items that are required to run your typical household. We use them too, just in greater quantities! When shopping, if you see a particular item that the museum uses, please consider picking up extra and donating it to the museum.
Even such simple items as light bulbs and copy paper are used frequently at the museum, and when we have to purchase these items, that means we have less money to spend on "railroad" expenses. |

Money Is Thankfully Received |
|
|
|
| Money is the gift that never offends and is constantly useful! Donate now, we will appreciate it. A donation, however large or small goes a long way towards helping us not only keep the lights on, the doors open and the trains rolling, but to expand and improve our visitors experience now and into the future. |
