Support
Support the institute.
John Bailey Institute is a nonprofit. Giving goes to instruction, equipment, certification costs and reaching students who have never been shown a path into aviation.
Individual giving
One-time and recurring gifts. The most direct use is covering a student's certification costs, which is a credential they keep for life.
- Cover an FAA Part 107 certification
- Sponsor a seat in a course
- Recurring monthly support
Institutional and foundation
Multi-year programme funding, cohort sponsorship and equipment grants. This is the support that lets an independent institute plan past the current year.
- Cohort and programme sponsorship
- Equipment and simulator funding
- Multi-year operating support
Corporate and industry
Partners who supply the aircraft, the flight hours and the first job. In-kind support often moves further than cash.
- Airframes, payloads and avionics
- Simulator and facility access
- Internships and hiring pathways
Where it goes

FAA Part 107 testing fees and preparation for students who could not otherwise sit the exam.

Instruction
Instructor time, curriculum development and the virtual classroom.
Access
Reaching students in communities that have never been shown a path into aviation.
Current efforts
The institute's active campaigns. Giving goes directly to the programmes described above.
Donate to Change Lives
The institute's general fund, supporting instruction, equipment and the certification costs that keep a student from starting.
Hosted on Zeffy, which charges the institute no platform fee, so the whole of a gift reaches the programme.
Donations are made to Bailey Military Institute, the institute's incorporated entity.
