We Need Your Help
In February 2024, the APS will launch StampEd, a new digital magazine for the next generation of stamp collectors. Your support today will help us bring StampEd's mission into reality.
Your contributions to StampEd will cover start-up costs and allow us to deliver the digital magazine to a wide audience, for free, for the first two years.
What You’re Funding
StampEd is a digital-only magazine that will be released on a quarterly basis. It’s completely free, easy to access (no log-in required), and sharable, helping to spread enthusiasm about philately well beyond the APS’s typical audience.
Most importantly, StampEd is an opportunity for the APS to serve a flourishing community of new and non-traditional collectors who we aren’t currently reaching. By contributing to the StampEd fundraiser, you are directly helping us to strengthen the hobby of stamp collecting.

How to Donate
The StampEd fundraiser is hosted through the non-profit fundraising platform Give Lively. Click here to donate today. If you do not wish to receive a thank-you gift or to be recognized publicly for your contribution, please notify us in writing at donatestamped@stamps.org.
If you’re not able to donate, you can still support StampEd! Remember, the most effective form of marketing is word of mouth – you can help by sharing the fundraiser with your clubs, societies, friends, and family; spreading the word about the magazine via forums and social media; and sharing the first issue when it comes out in February.
Support for StampEd at any level is an investment in the future of the stamp collecting hobby. Thank you for bringing us a step closer to success.
