Giving Back grant recipients

摘要

The AOPA Foundation awards Giving Back grants of up to $10,000 to worthy causes that help promote aviation education and safety, help preserve airports, increase the pilot population, and/or facilitate charitable work being done through general aviation. These organizations and their missions will receive grants in 2016: 1. Build A Plane. AOPA Foundation grant funds will be used to implement an aircraft-building project designed to be a gang intervention program. Participants will refurbish an Aeronca Champ to airworthiness over a 12-month period. Upon completion of the project, participants will be given flight training in the completed Champ, which qualifies as a Light Sport aircraft.
