Due to a recent health scare I decided to get rid of all my non collection items. I have nearly 200 items: United Launch Alliance (ULA), NASA Launch Services Program (LSP), Boeing coins(104), flown melted metal medals and miscellaneous coins (75+), including two unflown Robbins and some flown items not essential to my collections. I was going to sell these but to much hassle so I decided to donate everything. Looking for some opinions on who to donate to. Any help would be appreciated. |

The American Space Museum in Titusville, Florida is always appreciative of any donations. |

The American Space Museum is a great choice.Just to add some other options: - Astronaut Scholarship Foundation — they hold seasonal auctions with the funds supporting undergraduates excelling in STEM majors.
- The U.S. Space Camp Hall of Fame — they hold an annual auction with funds underwriting merit-based scholarships to send students to Space Camp.
- Space Hipsters — they hold periodic memorabilia giveaways that serve as fundraisers for Taking Up Space, a non-profit empowering middle-school-age Native American girls by sending them to Space Camp.
- The Space Museum and Grissom Center (Bonne Terre, Missouri) — I don't know if they hold any sales, but this might be an option for a donation for display/exhibition.
- Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum - Another possible display donation option, as they might be interested in the Cape-related launch coins for the Sands Space History Center.
