Tips for Applicants

Prospective partners should align with aviation safety objectives and demonstrate commitment to evidence-based safety practices. Organizations seeking support should engage with the foundation's established programs (BARS, ASN, Asia Pacific Centre) or propose initiatives addressing identified safety gaps in mixed-use airspace, runway incursions, or safety compliance.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation operates as an independent, impartial non-profit that advances aviation safety through knowledge sharing, industry standards development, and collaborative initiatives. It focuses on practical, evidence-based approaches to safety improvement including risk assessment standards (BARS), accident investigation databases (ASN), and regional safety centers. The foundation values innovation, communication, and coordinated global action to address emerging safety risks.
