Donations
The Flying Yankee needs your help to return to the rails! Now that ownership of the Flying Yankee has been transferred from the State of New Hampshire to the Flying Yankee Association (FYA), the trainset’s restoration will rely entirely on donations. Our organization has no employees and is run entirely by volunteers.
If you donate $500 or more, you will automatically be enrolled in a membership (Minuteman tier) to the FYA and receive our newsletters, announcements, and volunteer opportunities.
The FYA will also accept material donations! Machinery, PPE and safety equipment, artifacts, or parts are all examples of donations that can support the restoration!
Businesses that seek to provide sponsorships, services, or donations are urged to contact Jacob Eidsmoe at j.eidsmoe@flyingyankee.org.
Matching Donation
The Flying Yankee Association has kickstarted its campaign to return the iconic Flying Yankee to the high iron with a large matching donation. Every dollar donated to the FYA will be doubled by a generous donor, up to $500,000. To date, we have secured donations from several donors totaling $235,000. With the match applied, the FYA has $470,000 available in funding! The amount remaining from the donation is $265,000, meaning the FYA has the potential to raise additional monies in the amount of $530,000. The FYA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and all donations are tax-deductible.
