One-time gifts take many shapes from monetary donations to in-kind donations including:
Tribute/Memorial Gifts- Pay tribute to the memory of a passed loved one or celebrate a special occasion by making a gift that will leave an impact. Donations can be made to In Flight, Inc. in lieu of flowers or a donation made in your loved ones' name as a gift. If instructed to, we will notify families and honorees of contributions made in their name. All tribute gifts are mentioned in In Flight's monthly newsletter.
Event Sponsorship- In Flight hosts signature fundraising events throughout the year. Event sponsorships help us offset the event costs, so the proceeds come directly back to In Flight programs and strengthen the impact on those we support. Event sponsorships offer recognition opportunities before, during, and after the event.
In-Kind Gifts- In-kind gifts are a donation of goods or services rather than a monetary contribution. Make a donation from our wishlist, donate toward a project, or make a donation you think would help advance In Flight's mission.
Matching Gifts- Share your passion and philanthropic efforts with your employer to increase the impact of your gift by having them match the funds you raise.
Leave A Legacy

Planned giving gives a gift in way of estate preservation or tax incentives that can be given now or in the future. Talk with your accountant or attorney to assist you with your planning.
