I was introduced to model aviation later in life, but I have seen how much the hobby can build a passion for STEM and aviation in the younger generations. I am proud to give to the AMA Foundation to help in their missions to introduce the hobby to new audiences, provide scholarships for those wishing to pursue a STEM education, and giving grants for club improvement and disaster relief. These are all key things for securing the future growth of our hobby.

I give to the AMA Foundation in memory of my grandfather who was a modeler and a great inspiration.  The model aviation hobby has done so much for me and the AMA Foundation is the best way for me to give back so they can use my donation to help inspire more youth to get involved in the hobby.

The [National Model Aviation Museum] does not generate a profit for AMA; it relies in part on donations from members to help develop new exhibits and services for the modeling community.  As such, it is a worthy cause.  I became a Museum Patron, and I encourage you to do the same.
