WAYS TO GIVE
LightHawk Endowment Fund
LightHawk’s endowment ensures that conservation flying continues long after any single gift, grant, or generation. It provides permanent support for protecting wild places, waterways, and wildlife from above.
Invest in LightHawk’s Future
Our volunteer pilots understand what it means to use flight in service of something larger. Anyone who has ever looked down at a wild place and wanted it protected knows what moves them: the belief that a few hours in the air can help protect a river, a forest, or a species for good.
The LightHawk Endowment Fund carries that idea forward. It is built by pilots, partners, and supporters who share that instinct and want conservation flying to continue for generations to come. A gift to the endowment strengthens LightHawk for the long term, generating support year after year so we can remain ready as conservation needs change and new opportunities emerge.
A Gift That Lasts
Unlike an annual gift, an endowment gift is designed to keep working over time. Your contribution becomes part of a permanent fund that can help sustain LightHawk’s mission for years to come.
Lasting impact
Your gift keeps working long after it is made, funding conservation flights for generations of pilots and partners.
A lasting commitment
Every flight supported by this fund carries forward the belief that aviation can protect the natural world.
Institutional stability
Endowment income gives LightHawk a stable foundation, reducing dependence on year to year fundraising and enabling long term planning.
A growing fund
LightHawk’s endowment has reached $1 million and continues to grow. Your gift adds to something that already has real momentum.
Build Something Enduring
You can support LightHawk’s endowment through several types of charitable gifts, including cash, appreciated securities, estate plans, beneficiary designations, and other giving vehicles. Whether you make an endowment gift today or include LightHawk in your long-term plans, your support helps strengthen the foundation for what comes next.
