Alfred "Abby" and Constance "Connie" Wolf founded the Wolf Aviation Fund
in their estates to encourage and foster those having worthwhile projects and
efforts enhancing General Aviation. Abby was one of the five founders of
AOPA, The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Now hundreds of individuals and organizations are doing
great work in the seven program areas we support:
 |
Developing Public Policy and Airports |
|
Facilitating Networking and Mutual Support |
|
Identifying and Promoting Use of Alternative Resources |
|
Encouraging Good Communications, Media, and Community Relations |
|
Supporting General Aviation Technology, Safety, and Noise |
|
Improving Public Understanding and Perception of General Aviation |
|
Inspiring the Next Generation through Aviation Education |
In the last twenty years we have achieved remarkable success in helping worthy people and have provided almost 400 grants for wonderful projects and programs!
The resulting efforts are now inspiring and educating youth, introducing the public to the value and excitement of aviation, fostering innovation, championing our airports, encouraging volunteer pilots flying to help others, and supporting those who are working hard with few resources, defending and building general aviation here and abroad.
In addition, we have worked directly in our program areas, creating informational resources and networks of individuals and organizations who are increasingly contributing to the future of aviation.
The Problem, the Need, and the Opportunity:
Too many great new ideas and programs and too little funding to make them happen!
We receive many more excellent proposals than we can fund. In fact, now we can only provide partial grants to most of the projects we support.
However our grants are highly cost-efficient. We do not try to fully support large, expensive projects. Instead we concentrate on providing seed funds, or the funds necessary to take a worthwhile program to its next stage, or to provide the encouragement and expertise that will allow someone to succeed. And the recipients have been able to cite the honor of receiving a Wolf Aviation Fund grant in order to encourage others to provide additional support.
and we are unique - no one
else does what we do!
In the process of building our program we have learned that we are the first and the only nonprofit foundation in aviation that provides the type and variety of grants that are needed to support all the worthy individuals and organizations we help.
that is where you come in.
We are asking you to learn more about our work, to join us in it, and to contribute to its future success and thus the success of those we inspire and support.
