Champions In Flight: Leadership Giving That Makes the Difference
You've seen what EAA can do. You know that a Young Eagles flight can spark a lifelong passion, that a scholarship can open a door that might otherwise stay closed, that a well-equipped chapter can change what's possible in a community. Champions In Flight are donors who want to be part of making that happen at a meaningful scale, year after year, program after program.
Your gift at this level underwrites some of EAA's most important work: Young Eagles and Pathways to Flight, the EAA Aviation Museum, learn-to-fly academies, living history flight experiences, aircraft restoration, homebuilder workshops, and chapter support.
Champions In Flight gifts have also funded meaningful improvements to Pioneer Airport, the AirVenture grounds, and pilot proficiency training.
Champions In Flight recognition is based on recurrent annual giving:
- Champions In Flight Gold: $5,000–$9,999
- Champions In Flight Silver: $2,500–$4,999
- Champions In Flight Bronze: $1,000–$2,499
Benefits include:
- Annual Report listing
- Partners in Flight newsletter
- Fireside chats with EAA CEO Jack Pelton
- Select AirVenture amenities and invitations to special events
"The donors who give at the Champions In Flight level have seen what EAA can do, and they want to make sure it keeps happening. That kind of commitment doesn't just support EAA; it shapes what aviation looks like for the next generation."
