How To Help EAA Chapter 44
& Feel Good About It

IDEA #1:
Have members of your family or your friends ever asked what you might like for your birthday or other personal holiday and you haven't had a good answer?  You really don't want or need another pair of socks or kitchen gadget you won't use.

How about asking them to make a tax deductible donation to EAA Chapter 44 in your name?

The donor is sent a VERY nice EAA Chapter 44 card which they can wrap up and present to you. 

Each holiday, I proudly display the EAA 44 cards announcing that a donation was made to EAA Chapter 44 by my friends and family members. It gives me a sense of immense pride that they appreciate how much EAA Chapter 44 means to me and are willing to help the Chapter.

You or your friends can CLICK HERE to download a PDF copy of the Holiday Donation Form.

IDEA #2:
A friend of mine recently passed away.  I decided to honor the memory of that friend by making a donation to EAA Chapter 44.  I simply contacted our EAA 44 Treasurer, about my desire to make the donation. Our Treasurer quickly responded with the information I needed to provide. Upon receipt of my donation, our Treasurer notified the family I had specified of my donation.

CLICK HERE to send us an email about your desire to make a donation in honor of your friend.

100% of the holiday or memorial donations benefit EAA Chapter 44 and are tax deductible.

The SAC is the future home of EAA Chapter 44. It is located on the north side of Ledgedale Airport (7G0) just off the end of the west tie down ramp. We hope to occupy it in the fall of 2010.

Donations Now Accepted On-Line Towards
The Building of The Sport Aviation Center

EAA 44 is undertaking a capital campaign to raise funds to build a Sport Aviation Center that will benefit the Rochester Community and our members. We are asking for your support by making a tax-deductible donation to EAA Chapter 44.

If you have any skills, resources or materials that you think might help us, we'd also invite you to CONTACT US about them.

This facility will be a place where members can perform final assembly of their own homebuilt or restored airplanes, can offer free Young Eagle flights to kids, meet new and interesting people, perhaps take a Sport Pilot ground school, learn about General and Sport Aviation, learn about the Experimental Aircraft Association, learn about Rochester's rich aviation history, hear presentations by aviation dignitaries.

You can make a secure donation here using your credit card or PayPal account:

EAA Chapter 44 is a 501(c)3 organization registered with the United States IRS and New York State.

We are dedicated to the promotion of aviation activities, and the preservation of our aviation heritage.
