Overview

Mission

To serve people in need by arranging charitable flights for health care or other humanitarian purposes. Every year, volunteer pilots and supporters provide hundreds of free flights throughout the midwest for families who need access to specialized health care, camps for special needs, disaster response efforts, and other compassionate reasons.

What it reported doing in 2024

Public education - the organization aims to increase awareness of and provide public education on the availability of free general and commercial aviation resources for those in need of faraway transportation, typically for non-emergency healthcare appointments. In addition, the organization also aims to increase awareness and education for qualified pilots regarding their ability to volunteer their passion, time, and aircraft to help those in need while providing a meaningful volunteer experience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
