Discover the Torchbearer Program
The Academy of Model Aeronautics Foundation Torchbearer Program is an exclusive initiative crafted to honor and empower individuals who are dedicated to elevating the world of model aviation through philanthropy. As Torchbearers, our participants embody the spirit of leadership, innovation, and a profound commitment to advancing the art and science of model aeronautics.
An AMA Foundation Torchbearer is a donor who carries the torch at the head of the mission and truly embodies the spirit of leadership, passion, and commitment to the hobby. The torch icon symbolizes one’s passion, commitment, leadership, and unselfish service to our culture and community of model aviators, and the flame cannot be extinguished.
Torchbearers can choose to support their favorite programs and initiatives: club grants, scholarships, the National Model Aviation Museum, the International Aermodeling Center, The AMA Foundation Endowment, and so much more.
