Your support
is truly priceless

Too busy to volunteer at Stoomtrein Maldegem-Eeklo?
No worries – there are other ways to support us! Your financial contribution helps keep our trains running and our heritage alive. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

How will your contribution help presevere our heritage?

  • Maintenance of the railway line
    In the early 2000s, part of our railway line was closed due to its poor condition. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our volunteers, the line was saved from disappearing altogether.
    However, intensive yearly maintenance remains essential.
    Maintaining a railway line is extremely costly and requires significant financial resources that our non-profit cannot cover alone.
    Stoomtrein Maldegem-Eeklo truly needs your financial support to keep this heritage alive.
  • Purchase of materials
    Materials are needed both for maintaining the railway line and for the trains themselves.
  • Ongoing projects

What are your benefits?

  • For donations or contributions of at least €40,-, this amount is tax-deductible for people with a Belgian national registry number.
    You can recover about half of the donated amount.
  • Stoomtrein Maldegem-Eeklo keeps you informed about the projects you support helps fund.
  • You contribute to preseving a piece of authenticity and nostalgia.
  • It gives you a warm feeling of making a difference for a group of passionate and dedicated volunteers.
