The recipients of the 2025 Take off And Grow (TAG) Grants have been selected. A total of 40 clubs were collectively awarded $33,000.
Created by the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) in 2007, TAG Grants are designed to help clubs hold events that introduce the general public to the hobby. This grant provides funding for a one-day extensive event and the grants can be used to purchase trainer aircraft, raffle prizes, and food and beverages for the special day.
The 2025 grant year marks the largest amount awarded to clubs through the TAG Grant, as well as the most completed applications received for one grant cycle (44).
