Thinking of donating money, a telescope, or astronomical equipment to the RASC Edmonton Centre?

We gratefully accept monetary donations. If you wish to donate money, please contact the Treasurer. Donations of $50 or more are eligible for a tax receipt (on request).

We accept donations of telescopes or other astronomical equipment IF we deem it suitable for our programs. These programs include, but are not limited to: telescope loaner program, gifting to schools and other educational programs, use in our outreach and observing programs, or simply salvaging equipment for parts.

If you have an equipment donation that you would like us to consider, please contact the Equipment Director to review the equipment and determine its suitability for our programs. Generally speaking, the equipment should be of good quality and in good condition. Please note that we cannot offer a guarantee about how your equipment donation may be used. Also, we cannot consider buying such equipment or selling it on your behalf.

For equipment donations valued at $500 or more (fair market value) we will issue a tax receipt.
