Overview

Mission

The purpose of this Foundation shall be to encourage and provide resources for flight instruction and training by providing soaring facilities and equipment for members on a non-profit basis, and to further the knowledge of aerodynamics, the principles and use of soaring, and safety of flight. The Foundation as part of its charitable purposes may also make distributions to other organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Condor flight simulator placed in service in 2023 was upgraded and a new landscape of northern Colorado has substantially improved our training capability and enhanced flight realism for our training. It provides economical training for both students and advanced pilots and allows us to train during periods of inclement weather and in simulated environments not available at Owl Canyon Gliderport.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
