In 2025, we at the AMA Foundation want to highlight the root of our successes—you, our dedicated donors! This year, we'll be starting something new. As we get submissions, we'll be sharing donor spotlights each week! These spotlights are meant to highlight you, your love for our hobby, the reason you feel passionate about donating, and anything else that you may want to share.
In order to create these donor spotlights, we need you to provide us with your stories! To become eligible for a donor spotlight post, email AMA Foundation Communications Specialist Clarissa Poston at clarissap@modelaircraft.org. In your email, please provide Clarissa with the following, at minimum:
- Your name
-
A photo of you
- This is preferred, but it is not required
- Your involvement in our hobby
- Your city and state of residence
- What inspires you to donate to the AMA Foundation
- Any fun tidbits about yourself that you'd like to share
Once compiled, your information will be published on AMA Foundation socials in the following format:
In addition to being posted on social media, your donor spotlight information will be posted on the AMA Foundation website! While the social media post limits the amount of information able to be shared, your website feature will allow you to tell your whole story. Feel free to provide additional photos, longer stories about your inspiration for donating, and a more in-depth explanation of your love for model aviation for your website feature.
Need additional inspiration? Below are some talking points to consider:
- What's the most exciting model aviation flight or event that you've ever experienced?

- When you're not giving back to our hobby, what are some of your hobbies and interests?
- How do you feel your donation is making a difference?
- Which aspect of the AMA Foundation's work resonates most with you?
- Do you remember your first model aviation flight? How did it go?
- Why should others support the AMA Foundation alongside you?
- Why do you feel that it's important to give back?

- Are you part of an aeromodeling club? How did you first get involved with that group?
- What's the most rewarding aspect of being a donor?
- How do you spread the word about our hobby?
- What's the most innovative or futuristic feature you'd like to see in our hobby throughout the next few years?
- Do you have any plans for leaving a lasting impact through a bequest?
- What kind of legacy would you like to leave through your donations?
- What's the biggest lesson you've learned from aeromodeling that applies to other areas of your life?
Interested in submitting a donor testimonial as well? Whether you want to use material from your donor spotlight post or write something entirely different, let Clarissa know in your email. She'll help you get your testimonial prepped for publishing on the AMA Foundation website!
