The AOPA Foundation is the charitable arm of the Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association. They support programs that preserve the freedom to fly. General Aviation provides such needed services, like transporting patients to distant hospitals, mapping wetland and soil erosion, being on the front lines of wildfire fighting, flying important packages overnight, and so much more. Donations go to support important programs that will increase the number of pilots flying, that provide important safety education programs to keep pilots and passengers safe, that support the humanitarian work being done through General Aviation, and that preserve community airports across the country. Donations to the Foundation keep America flying! I know that my donations make a difference.
