About
The AOPA Foundation (AFI) is a tax-exempt charitable, educational, and scientific organization that educates the public about the value of general aviation. Our mission is to ensure the future of general aviation by improving safety through the Air Safety Institute, preserving community airports, and encouraging learning to fly for career and personal benefit. Foundation Grants During 2018, the AOPA Foundation granted $5.7 million to various projects in support of its mission: In 2018, the Foundation provided $4.6 million to AOPA to support coordinated programs designed to strengthen the pilot community. This included Rusty Pilots, an educational workshop designed to encourage pilots to return to flying; aviation high school curriculum development; flying clubs; outreach events; and flight training scholarships awarded to deserving student pilots. The AOPA Airport Support Network, a group of over 1,400 volunteers tasked with promoting, protecting, and defending America's community airports from pressures mounting against such airports, was funded with a grant of $30,000 from the AOPA Foundation. The Air Safety Institute serves all pilots by providing free or low-cost education programs to pilots and flight instructors nationwide, analyzing safety data, and conducting safety research. The Foundation fully funded the ASI mission with a grant of $1.1 million.
