We Need Your Support!

The mission of CAF RISE ABOVE is to educate audiences across the country about the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASP – so their strength of character, courage and ability to triumph over adversity may serve as a means to inspire others to RISE ABOVE obstacles in their own lives and achieve their goals.

CAF RISE ABOVE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization part of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF). Become a donor today to help and share the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and WASP for generations to come. The operation of the P-51C Mustang Tuskegee Airmen and the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit are dependent on the generous support from people like you!

Here’s how you can help:

  • Join the Heritage Club: The Heritage Club is an organization of friends who, by sharing the long-term vision of the CAF, have established a planned gift for the future benefit of the organization. Donations to the Heritage Club may be designated as an unrestricted gift or restricted to a specific aircraft, unit, or the CAF’s endowment. The American Airpower Heritage Foundation (AAHF) is the financial branch of the CAF and manages our endowment funds, including all unit endowments. Earnings from the endowment are distributed in keeping with the organization objectives. The CAF General Staff (Board of Directors) directs any unrestricted gifts, as described in the Gift Acceptance Policy.
