Support APN’s Mission

Donate to APN

All Points North Model Railroad Association, Inc. ("APN") is a 501(c)(3) qualified non-profit public charity and accepts monetary and material contributions.

Your donation helps APN continue building a place where creativity, craftsmanship, and community thrive. Contributions are unrestricted, allowing APN to direct funds where they are needed most — facility improvements, educational programs, public events, and the ongoing care of our layout and clubhouse.

APN is actively exploring future expansion and enhancement options. Unrestricted giving provides the flexibility to pursue the projects that best support our mission as plans develop. Whether improving workspace, enhancing visitor access, maintaining our facility, or preparing for future growth, your support keeps APN moving forward by preserving and teaching North American railroad history through our models. Thank you for helping us preserve and share the art and history of model railroading.

 

To make a monetary donation, you can mail a check to our street address at:

All Points North
611 S Magnolia Dr.
Conroe, TX 77301-6207

If you require it for your records, include a request with your check and we will send you a receipt for your donation.

Alternatively you can bring a check or cash to our clubhouse and deposit it into our Donate Jar.

We are working on setting up way to donate online via a credit card, hope to have it soon.

  

Donate your surplus trains to APN

Do you have model trains or other related items you'd like to donate?

In addition to cash donations, APN also accepts used model railroad equipment.

As a 501(c)(3) qualified public charity, we are able to offer proof of donation documentation for the purposes of income tax deductions to those interested in donating to APN. In the past we have received model railroading equipment from individual donors and estates.

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 APN as a possible tax deduction. APN will make use of selected donated items and sell any remaining items, using the sales proceeds to fund its programs and activities.

It's a win-win situation. You clean out your closet, attic or garage of model trains and get a tax deduction. We are able to put those items into the hands of people who can actually use them and we use any sales proceeds to help support our needs.

Note that APN cannot provide appraisals for donated items. In a similar manner to other charities like Goodwill or the Salvation Army, we provide you with a donation receipt for the list of donated items, and you determine the value for deduction purposes. To determine the value, consider checking similar items for sale at train shows and on online sites such as eBay. Please consult your financial advisors for more details.
