Grants Program
Offering aviation-related grant funding to organizations around the globe that advance commercial aviation.
The ISTAT Foundation Grants Program is actively engaged in awarding aviation-related grant funding to nongovernmental, not-for-profit organizations around the globe that advance commercial aviation. The Grants Program is administered by the Grants Committee of the ISTAT Foundation Board of Trustees. The Grants Committee will accomplish this mission by providing funds to:
- Organizations worldwide that aid in the promotion of the aviation industry;
- Educational platforms such as (but not limited to) museums, summer camps, workshops and other programs dedicated to increasing knowledge about the aviation industry; and
- Programs aimed at introducing the aviation industry to diverse populations internationally.
Humanitarian-related grant requests should be directed to our Humanitarian Program.
