Employers will match contributions which can multiply your gift to support America's communities.
Your car, boat or plane will help youth programs and our dedicated volunteers.
In educating cadets and youth in aerospace education with Civil Air Patrol, it offers us the unique opportunity to help steer these young minds in that direction. Think of it as a ripple effect. If you drop a small idea in the ocean of a child's mind, that ripple is just going to get bigger and bigger and lead to bigger ideas.

There are many ways to support CAP's important work across America through philanthropic gifts.
“I joined CAP in 1960 as a cadet and continued on as a Senior Member all these years. I have had great experiences and life-changing events as a result. For instance, my daughter joined as a cadet and graduated from the Air Force Academy. She followed in my footsteps and then went even farther. That initial exposure to flying for me led to my airline career. While I have been financially supporting the cadet program these past few years, I have increased the amount this year. I think of it as payback. I’m grateful for the impact CAP has had on my life. The opportunities just continue to happen.”
