Become an AMA Foundation Company Torchbearer
Take your company to new heights while preserving the legacy of flight by becoming an AMA Foundation Company Torchbearer!
The AMA Foundation's Company Torchbearer Program allows companies of all sizes to carry the torch at the head of our mission, emphasizing their overwhelming commitment to model aviation and its community of hobbyists.
Much like the general Torchbearer Program, the Company Torchbearer Program provides companies with the ability to support the cause that they feel most passionate about. Participating companies can choose to have their contributions directly impact our Education Fund, Endowment Fund, International Aeromodeling Center Fund, or National Model Aviation Museum Fund. This flexibility provides each company with the chance to make a strategic impact on the cause of their choice, all while embodying the spirit of leadership, passion, and commitment to the hobby of model aviation.
Company Torchbearers have the option of opting into one of three program tiers, ensuring that companies small and large have the opportunity to participate:
