Angel FlightTM Southeast is a charitable, non-profit IRS 501 (c)(3) organization. 

Angel FlightTM Southeast is proud to announce a satisfying new way for corporations and individuals to provide much needed financial support. This exciting program is called Adopt an Angel Flight.

The everyday business people who fly for Angel FlightTM Southeast, donate their time as a pilot, their fuel and the expense of operating their plane - a donation that can easily reach $2,000 or more. These "in-kind" donations made by the pilots add up to more than $2.5 million per year.   Yet, for the patients and their escorts, there is never a charge for the mission.

Even though a large percentage of Angel FlightTM Southeast's costs are donated through the generosity of its pilots, we still have significant expenses at headquarters for mission coordination. Rent for headquarters, electricity, the complex computer system that must be maintained, printing, postage, salaries for mission coordination and public education staff, and the long distance phone bill (running approx. $35,000 per year!), all add up to a sizeable need for financial donations.

The mission coordination cost incurred at operations/headquarters for each mission flown averages approximately $400. The Adopt an Angel Flight program makes it possible to help Angel FlightTM Southeast pay its mission coordination costs one flight at a time.  With the purchase of 11 missions or less, a handsome certificate is provided for each mission "adopted."  And, of course, your donation for the coordination of each mission is a tax deduction for you or your company.
