If you have antique or vintage duck decoys tucked away, consider donating them to the OFAH Foundation. Your contribution can make a meaningful impact on conservation and heritage education.
Visit hfhc.ca/duckdecoys and submit your proposed donation with a detailed description and photo.
The more detail you can provide about your proposed donation, the greater the opportunity for us to ensure a thorough appraisal can be completed. Helpful details include the age of the piece or the date of creation, the decoy maker’s name, waterfowl species, and any other relevant information. If the proposed donation is accepted, we will arrange shipping the decoy from your location to OFAH headquarters in Peterborough.
Upon arrival, a tax receipt will be issued for its full appraised value.
A tax receipt can be used to help offset your taxes at year's-end, while your donation directly supports the OFAH Foundation’s efforts to preserve the deep history and heritage that these decoys represent.
Donated decoys will be sold in our fall 2026 online auction hosted by Miller and Miller Auctions of New Hamburg, with all proceeds going towards OFAH Foundation’s conservation programs.
