Overview

Mission

AMOA performs numerous functions on behalf of and for its members including government and related industry representation, monitoring industry and federal news and reporting on these activities, and aviation safety and standardization.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Air Medical Operators Association participates in and comments on various legislative and rulemaking initiatives: these initiatives enhance safety in aviation and provide support for the overall mission of transporting patients by air. AMOA works with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Transportation, the National Transportation Safety Board, and the Aviation Subcommittees in both chambers of the United States Congress. AMOA promotes safety initiatives and ensures that rulemaking or legislative activities do not adversely affect the safe operation of its member operators.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
