The Airpower Museum has created an endowment fund that will support and preserve the APM and Antique Airfield.
"The APM's two main missions remain the same as they have for decades," said Brent Taylor, the Treasurer of the APM and Executive Director of the AAA. "The first is to see that the museum exists to preserve and educate the public about our aviation heritage. The second is to see that the APM, the AAA, and Antique Airfield, remain the site for the annual Invitational AAA/APM Fly-in that means so much to antique airplane owners nationwide, because it is the place where the 'grass roots' of antique aviation can still be experienced. Therefore the Air Power Museum Legacy Endowment has been established to make sure those two missions continue long into the future."

Funding for the endowment has begun. The start up money came from the profits on the sale of the flown postal covers from Air Mail Days, the 2008 AAA/APM Invitational Fly-In at Antique Airfield, and from online donations. Flown postal covers from the fly-in event are still available online.
If you would like to donate you can choose either online donation, or please contact the APM staff at Blakesburg.
