Lightspeed Aviation Foundation's Grants Top $100,000 for 2010

February 11th Is The Deadline For Charities To Apply For 2011 Grants

Twenty aviation-related charities are the beneficiaries of over $100,000 in grants awarded by the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation for 2010. Midnight, February 11th is the deadline for existing or new aviation charities that may want to apply for grants in the 2011 round.

In April 2010, the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation submitted twenty award finalists to the aviation community. Pilots then selected their favorites among these charities by voting online or designating a portion of new Lightspeed Aviation headset purchases,

In November, $50,000 was shared at the AOPA Summit Pilot Choice Awards between the five finalists with the highest number of online votes. This week, additional gifting in excess of $50,000 was distributed among all twenty charities based on the amount designated by new Lightspeed Aviation customers at the time they registered their product.

“What’s particularly unique about the foundation is that we do not ask or accept financial gifts to fund the foundation,” according to Allan Schrader, Founder and President of Lightspeed Aviation. “Perhaps best of all, it is the pilots who choose where the money goes.”

The 2010 Lightspeed Aviation Foundation recipients included:

  • Angel Flight Central
  • Angel Flight East
  • Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic
  • Angel Flight Southeast/Mercy Flight Southeast
  • Angel Flight West
  • AOPA Foundation
  • Brigade Air
  • Build A Plane
  • Civil Air Patrol
  • EAA Young Eagles
  • Experience Aviation
  • Helicopter Foundation Int'l
  • Heritage Flight Foundation
  • JAARS
  • Lindbergh Foundation
  • Mission Aviation Fellowship
  • NIFA: National Intercollegiate Flying Assoc.
  • Ninety Nines
  • Veterans Airlift
  • Wings of Hope

Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon since 1996, Lightspeed Aviation makes aviation headsets for the professional or general aviation pilot.
