Mission and Vision
Infinity Aero Club Tampa Bay aims to empower underserved communities through Aviation, STEM education, and Entrepreneurship, fostering a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline in the aviation and technology sectors. Our vision is to impact over one million lives globally by lowering the cost and barriers to these programs.

Programs and Initiatives
We offer a range of programs, including discovery flights, drone operations, aircraft maintenance, and entrepreneurship training. Our flagship initiative, the "Hidden Treasures" tour, introduces young people to the wonders of aviation, while our collaboration with the Boy Scouts of America in the Explore Aviation Post and Club program expands our reach.

Impact and Goals
Since our inception, we have reached over 67,000 young people, providing them with unique opportunities to explore aviation and STEM fields. Our goal is to impact over one million lives by 2030, creating pathways to careers in technology, aerospace, and aviation.

Funding and Sustainability
Currently operating with a budget of approximately $200, 000, we aim to increase this to between $250,000 and $1,000,000. Private donations, accounting for 10-20% of our budget, are crucial for sustaining our programs. These donations fund essential activities, such as initial flight exposures for underserved youth.

Support and Partnerships
We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization and lifetime members of the Experimental Aircraft Association. We seek donations of airplanes, drones, aircraft and rocket kits, aircraft parts, aviation maintenance tools, and STEM equipment to support the development of future aviation and aerospace professionals ages K-22+.
