Driftless Region Youth Flight is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
Your donation is deductible to the full extent of the law.

Our Capital Campaign

The mission of the Driftless Region Aerospace Innovation Center is to provide a space where area youth will have opportunities to discover careers in the commercial aviation industry. The flagship program, Driftless Region Youth Flight will provide those career pathways. 

This important work can only be made possible through the support of generous donors who contribute to our capital campaign.

Our goal of 3 Million dollars will allow the Driftless Region Aerospace Innovation Center to transform an unused aircraft hangar into a state of the art aerospace educational facility. Without the support of generous donors like you, this project would be impossible.

The Driftless Region Aerospace Innovation Center and Driftless Region Youth Flight are depending on your assistance and generosity. Please use the Contact Us page to pledge your support.

Please be assured that your contribution will be put to good use by providing career pathways to youth right here in our community. Thank you for your consideration and continued support.
