PHILANTHROPY
- NAPEX distributes proceeds from its annual Show in support of numerous Philatelic Organizations and initiatives.
Since 2003, we have contributed more than $43,500 toward these efforts. Listed below are some of the grants and donations NAPEX makes.
Multi-year pledges are listed in the year they were completed.
- In addition to contributions below, NAPEX has several ongoing charitable commitments. These include a $300 annual sponsorship of six AAPE Youth Champion of Champions special awards ($2,550 since 2003); a $150 Annual Fund Campaign Honor Roll gift to the Smithsonian National Postal Museum ($750 since 2008); and up to $600 annually in Gerhard S.
