Helping Careers in Aviation and Skydiving Take Off

The ASCEND Foundation opens doors into aviation and skydiving careers by expanding access, guidance & opportunity.

These industries are full of opportunity, but cost, access, or unclear pathways can often be a barrier to entry.

We support aspiring pilots, skydivers, technicians, and aviation professionals by removing barriers, providing guidance, and investing in people with the drive to succeed.

Through scholarships, mentorship, and career development support, we help individuals take meaningful steps toward sustainable careers—strengthening the future of aviation by lifting up the people who will carry it forward.
