In summary, shorter is better, longer is worse, and anything in excess of the four pages described below will count heavily against applicants. The Wolf Aviation Fund will consider for grants any proposal that meets the objectives stated in our web site. Proposals that do not relate to the stated goals and programs will not likely be funded. Thus please read the materials carefully and avoid wasting your time putting together a proposal for a project that does not relate to what we have written. You can also request a printed booklet from us containing the web pages, but this will result in some delay as we process your request and mail the material to you.
Grants range in size from a few hundred dollars to a maximum of ten thousand dollars.
Please recognize that priority will be given to proposals that have a large impact and will benefit general aviation and the public perception of it the most. We will consider a request for a grant to help someone with a narrow individual project, but it should be obvious that it is far more likely for a grant to be awarded for a project that will benefit all or many general aviation pilots, all or many aircraft designers, or a large segment of the general public in understanding the special value of personal flying. The web site explains our philosophy about trying to leverage small resources to achieve large results. There are many organizations that do so and we are helping make that information more available. Please do be aware that our web site contains many ideas for small projects that will be considered for funding.
