We want you! Never has the time been better to start a project in
your community. The Cloudbase Foundation is aiming to distribute over $10,000 in
grants to projects by pilots this year. Our team of volunteers is here to help
you with resources and ideas, from fundraising to implementation.

In recent years, the Cloudbase Foundation has supported schools in Honduras, a
teen center in Washington, a public library in Tennessee, search and rescue in
Colorado, earthquake relief and rebuilding in Nepal and Ecuador, memorial
fundraising in California, and child welfare in Texas. Each one of these
projects were driven by local pilots who saw an opportunity to make a difference
in their communities, who stepped up to the microphone, hosted an event, or
simply gathered donations. Some threw outrageous parties with a donation
required for entry. Raffles have been wildly successful. Some used auctions of
donated gear to garner donations. Simply passing the hat at the morning briefing
has been surprisingly effective. Free flight pilots are a generous and caring
bunch, and competitions and fly-ins are a great opportunity to gather support
for a cause.

What can you do? We invite each and every one of you to get involved in your
community. Ask yourself: What needs are present? Is there a school lacking
equipment? A public library lacking books or computers? Perhaps a local aid
organization struggling to fulfill its vision? Or an educational program needed
that simply doesn't exist? A community center on a tight budget? If you live and
fly in an affluent community, don't forget about that favorite vacation spot,
dollars and euros go a long way in the developing world. Perhaps a school needs
supplies or educational programs, a community has contaminated drinking water,
or a natural disaster has left families' homes in ruins. For ideas and a
complete list of Cloudbase projects, please check out the website. No project is
too small.

The Cloudbase Foundation and its volunteers are here to help you with resources
and ideas, from fundraising to implementation. The Cloudbase Foundation is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all donations are 100% tax deductible. Ideas
for projects can be submitted on the website, and feel free to contact us
