What they do
LIGHTHAWK FLIES to SAVE THE EARTH. LIGHTHAWK EXISTS BECAUSE WE KNOW EXCELLENT CONSERVATION WORK CAN BE DONE WITH AIRCRAFT. MOST CONSERVATION GROUPS ARE UNAWARE of THE EFFICIENCY SAVINGS and IMPACT to PERCEPTIONS AERIAL VIEWS CAN PROVIDE. EVEN WHEN THEY DO, FLIGHTS MAY SEEM UNAFFORDABLE to THEM. LIGHTHAWKS CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION ISSUES and WORK WITH LEADING CONSERVATION PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS to CO-DESIGN EFFECTIVE FLIGHT CAMPAIGNS WHERE AVIATION CAN QUICKLY ACCELERATE THE WORK to MORE QUICKLY ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT OUTCOMES. ONCE CAMPAIGNS ARE DESIGNED, WE LEVERAGE A NATIONWIDE NETWORK of MORE THAN 350 HIGHLY-EXPERIENCED VOLUNTEER PILOTS WHO MAKE FLIGHTS AFFORDABLE BY DONATING THEIR TIME, AIRCRAFT, EXPERTISE and FUEL. WE ARE ABLE PROVIDE FLIGHTS to OUR PARTNERS WITHOUT CHARGE BECAUSE of THE CHARITABLE SUPPORT of OUR PILOTS.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
