Stamp COllection

Countless stamp collections have been set aside in recent years, but never thrown away. Fortunately, because unused stamps remain enormously valuable – even as donations. Here's how you can proceed.

Found an old album with pages full of unused stamps? Then you could donate these unused, still valid stamps to the Ruedi Lüthy Foundation. They frank thousands of letters every year. In return, you'll receive a donation receipt for 90 percent of the donated postage value. This amount is tax-deductible.

All Swiss definitive stamps and commemorative stamps from 1960 onwards are still valid for postage. For Pro Juventute and Pro Patria stamps, all issues from 1964 onwards are valid. Stamps sorted and counted by value greatly facilitate the processing of in-kind donations for the team. You can send your stamp donation by registered mail to:
