Preserving Idaho's Treasures:
Backcountry Airstrips & Small Community Airports

Your contributions to the IAF will help further our goals as indicated in our mission statement:

To advocate the interests of general aviation in Idaho for all who benefit from access by air to our state resources by accumulating and distributing assets for the preservation, maintenance, repair and enhancement of our public use airports.

The J. Curtis Earl Idaho Aviation Foundation (IAF) was established as a support organization for the Idaho Aviation Association (IAA). The IAF was formed for the purpose of collecting contributions and donations benefiting and preserving all airports within Idaho. It was established as a tax exempt public foundation to receive tax deductible contributions. From the outset it was envisioned that the IAF would serve as the funding source for airstrip maintenance and improvement projects, educational pursuits, and other beneficial purposes while the IAA, as a not-for-profit membership organization, focuses its resources on performing airstrip maintenance work as well as political advocacy to protect access to and continued existence of airstrips within the jurisdiction of federal, state and local government agencies.

The IAF funds aviation projects, makes educational grants, and sponsors special initiatives such as the Wilderness Within Reach program.

The IAF has a capable and motivated Board of Directors to guide programs, projects and activities deemed to be beneficial to aviation interests in pursuit of its mission.
