Mission & Focus Areas
ALPA states that its primary exempt purpose is to promote the interests of the airline piloting profession and safeguard members’ rights, individually and collectively. Its 2024 filing describes work in collective bargaining, government affairs, and aviation safety. The filing says its contributions are sponsorships or scholarships for one-time events and that it specifies each award’s purpose in an award letter.
The 2024 grants include support for organizations whose stated missions concern aviation safety and the aviation community. For example, Flight Safety Foundation says its mission is to promote the global application of aviation safety assessments, standards, and practices and develop solutions to safety challenges. Air Traffic Control Association says it works to promote the air traffic control profession and aviation community. ALPA also gave to its Emergency Relief Fund; that organization says it provides grants or loans to ALPA members and dependents experiencing disaster-related financial hardship.
ALPA’s website describes Pilots for Pilots as a charity providing emergency assistance to ALPA pilots and dependents after widespread catastrophic events. Its scholarship program is for eligible children of medically retired, long-term disabled, or deceased ALPA pilot members. These programs serve ALPA members or their families; they are not described as general grant programs for outside applicants.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, ALPA reported 13 grants totaling $151,142. The grants ranged from $7,000 to $27,600, with a median of $10,000. The largest listed awards were $27,600 to Aero Club of Washington for sponsorship; $20,000 to Wayne State University as a contribution; $13,100 to International Aviation Club for sponsorship; and $13,000 to American Association of Airport Executives for sponsorship. Other listed recipients included ALPA Emergency Relief Fund ($10,869), 10Pin Bowling Lounge ($10,000), Sandy Hook Promise Foundation ($10,000), Flight Safety Foundation ($9,000), Women in Aviation International ($8,000), and Air Traffic Control Association ($7,573).
The filing says the Executive Council approves contributions through the budgeting process, ALPA identifies the purpose in the award letter, and it does not monitor grant use after disbursement. Its website describes the scholarship program as offering one four-year undergraduate award valued at up to $60,000 and one single-year undergraduate award of $10,000. The four-year award is disbursed annually, subject to maintaining a 3.0 GPA. Applicants must meet the program’s family-eligibility criteria and be enrolled in a program principally creditable toward a bachelor’s degree. The website gives an April 1 application deadline and says recipients are selected by July 31 each year; it does not specify the year for those dates.
