The AMA Foundation exists to inspire financial support for aeromodeling as a hobby, sport, and scientific pursuit, a legitimate part of our communities and a necessary component of the aeronautical continuum.
The AMA Foundation is a 509(a)(3) Type 1 organization which provides a variety of unique philanthropic opportunities for individuals to support model aviation’s past, present, and future.
Please support the AMA Foundation in its efforts to preserve, enhance, build, and safeguard aeromodeling by benefiting the Academy of Model Aeronautics’ benevolent programs
