We talk about the general aviation community, and that’s what it is – not just pilots and aircraft owners, but all the skilled technicians that support them. With glass cockpits, composite technology, and new powerplants, maintenance and support are all the more necessary.
The Sporty’s Foundation strives to reach young people at the earliest possible age. Since its inception, EAA’s Next Step has been the primary recipient of Foundation funds. This program ensures that every EAA Young Eagle has a place to go next after the initial spark from their Young Eagle ride.
The foundation has funded scholarships, donated to museums, enhanced Aviation Exploring, along with a number of other financial grants to enrich aviation and attract more young people. It’s important that you know that Sporty’s underwrites all the administrative costs of The Sporty’s Foundation. Unlike other charities with exorbitant executive salaries and overhead, every dollar you donate goes directly to the programs – right down to the last dime.
