Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity has started 2022 on a high, announcing it is the recipient of a humanitarian grant worth close to £7,500.
The International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT) Foundation, based in Chicago, USA, was founded in 1994 to support individuals and institutions that promote the advancement of commercial aviation and humanitarianism. The Foundation's Humanitarian Committee has donated $10,000, which equates to £7,500, to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity from its 2021 ISTAT Foundation Humanitarian Aid Grant following its application for funding last year.
Richie Wall, ISTAT Foundation humanitarian committee chair, said: "The Humanitarian Committee and the ISTAT Foundation are truly delighted to welcome Midlands Air Ambulance Charity as a first-time recipient of our annual grants. We hope that this is the beginning of a partnership and one that can deliver for the charity and the communities it serves. Keep up the good work!"
Debbie Briden, grants and trusts manager for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, added: “The ISTAT Foundation's Humanitarian Aid Program provides grant funding for humanitarian organisations across the globe that use the power of aviation to help save lives and also showcases how the aviation community can join together to aid those in need.
“Saving lives via aviation is at the heart of what we do and this grant, for which we are so grateful, will contribute to the funding of vital lifesaving missions this year."
Organisations registered as a charitable, non-governmental entity focusing on aviation-related humanitarian prevention, relief and/or recovery efforts are eligible to apply for an ISTAT Foundation Humanitarian Grant for natural disasters (drought, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions), human-generated disasters (conflict, social, industrial/transport accidents) and health-related crises. Last year the ISTAT Foundation granted $100,000 to 13 organisations in support of their humanitarian efforts across the globe.
