Donations

We have many projects, but in those budgetary restrictions times, the level of grants and subsidies is going deep down 🙁
So donations are welcome; to get our bank details, contact us.

Sponsorship

The goal of our projects is to reduce our environmental impact and open access to the airsports to a wider public (young or disabled people).
Should your company become a partner of us in such a project, we would fully cooperate.
