AOPA members that donate to the AOPA Foundation’s annual giving campaign are the cornerstone of our efforts to provide funding to the life changing, life-saving programs that we support.
Donors at this level help to build and strengthen the general aviation community through monthly contributions.
Giving through a donor-advised fund allows you to support general aviation in an easy, tax-efficient manner. It’s an opportunity to put your charitable dollars to work – where the need is great – but on your own terms.
