Partnerships

We reach people who are cut off from the world. We cannot do it alone. Find out what a partnership with MAF can look like and which form suits you.
Building livelihoods together

Engagement from companies, authorities and foundations

Our flights are only possible because others take part. Companies provide resources, foundations fund long-term projects, authorities open doors, churches and parishes carry us with prayer and donations, and schools bring our work to life for young people. However different these partnerships are, they share one aim: to reach people in remote regions before it is too late.

Which partnership suits you depends on who you are and what you would like to contribute. Here is an overview.

Your benefits

If you engage with MAF, you benefit in these ways, whatever form your partnership takes:

Making impact visible

You see exactly where your support lands: with people in regions that are otherwise almost impossible to reach.

Building trust

We are ZEWO-certified and account transparently for our work. You know at all times what your contribution is used for.

Putting values into practice

Corporate responsibility, political engagement, faith or an educational mission: MAF offers you a concrete way to turn your values into action.

Experiencing the stories

You gain insight into striking stories and first-hand accounts from people whose lives are changing thanks to your support.

“A company that gives. A parish that prays. A canton that helps fund an airstrip. In the end a pilot sits in the cockpit, because all of it came together.”
