We’re honoured that so many people feel inspired to contribute to the KF Centre for Excellence’s growing collection. Every artefact we display helps tell the story of aviation in the Okanagan and beyond—and we’re deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness of those who consider donating.
To ensure that our collection remains meaningful, relevant, and manageable, we’ve implemented a formal donations policy.
How to Submit a Donation
for Consideration
If you have an artefact or collection you’d like to donate:
Thank you so much for thinking of us for your donation! To help us care for items properly, we kindly ask that no items be left at the Centre without prior approval.
We currently accept coordinated drop-offs on Thursdays and Fridays only. After you submit your form, our curator, Gerry, will review your donation to ensure it’s a good fit for our collection and will reach out to you directly to arrange a suitable drop-off time.
Important Notes
Unsolicited in-person donations cannot be accepted.
Not all submissions will be accepted. We appreciate your generosity, but please understand that due to space, preservation considerations, and curatorial focus, not all donations can be added to the Centre’s collection.
Should the donation not meet our criteria, we will contact you to arrange pickup. If pickup is not possible, the item may be redirected to a local non-profit organization.
