Where does my money go?

We provide $5 in air transport services for every $1 raised.

A catastrophic illness can quickly exhaust a family’s financial resources.  Your donation to Angel Flight NE will play an important role in helping to ease one of the burdens that contributes to a family’s hardship: transportation to receive diagnosis and life-saving treatment.

Volunteers

Angel Flight NE relies heavily on the volunteer support of pilots across the region.  Our flight services are provided by an active volunteer pilot base of nearly 1,000 who donate their aircraft, the cost of fuel and their time.  Our Earth Angels provide ground transportation services for those who need it. 

Even with the wonderful generosity of volunteers, Angel Flight NE must maintain and fund an extensive ground operation.
