The LifeFlight Foundation

Making Second Chances Possible

The LifeFlight Foundation is a distinct but interrelated nonprofit that provides fundraising and public relations support to LifeFlight of Maine.

Supported by the generosity of the many friends of LifeFlight, the Foundation raises funds for aircraft, medical equipment, statewide aviation infrastructure and improvements, and the various training and education programs offered by LifeFlight.

The Foundation offices are located in Augusta, Maine, although members of the team often work from one of the three LifeFlight bases and travel around the state to meet with donors and partners.

Since its founding in 2003, the Foundation has raised more than $40 million to support LifeFlight of Maine.

The LifeFlight Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees who represent a wide range of sectors and regions across the state.

Every gift to The LifeFlight Foundation matters to Maine.
