ABOUT
The Air Force Museum Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Since 1960, we have worked to support the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force™ financially for expansions, special exhibits, restorations, enhancements, educational programs, acquisitions and more.
The Foundation also provides necessary resources for volunteer support and special events, and funds for marketing this world-class Museum throughout the region and beyond.
The Air Force Museum Foundation is the largest external single-source funder for the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, we have achieved a great deal in our 60+ year history, providing nearly $100 million in financial resources.
Whether it be a one-time gift, recurring support, planned giving, corporate sponsorship, Legacy Data Plate recognition, a Museum Store or Attractions purchase, or a private event, every dollar helps to support the Foundation’s goal – preserving aviation history and ensuring the future of the Museum.

OUR HISTORY
