The Air Cadet League of Canada (ACL) is a charitable organization that supports the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in the delivery of the Air Cadet Program. The ACL is comprised of a network of over 5,000 volunteers who raise money to fund and support the cadet training program and optional activities. The ACL’s provincial affiliates own a fleet of 79 Gliders and 33 Tow Aircraft (valued at over $5M) which is leased to the CAF for the air cadet glider familiarization and training program. The ACL also partners with many donors and organizations to generate over $150,000 annually in scholarships for air cadets.
It is estimated that more than 1.2 million young Canadians have been members of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets since the beginning of the program in 1941. Today, more than 34,000 youths participate in the program and we are proud to be able to contribute to the development of these young men and women as they become outstanding citizens ready to face the challenges of an ever-changing world.
Be part of a proud tradition and help build an exciting future for air cadets – support the Air Cadet League of Canada.
There are many ways that you can give your support to the Air Cadet League.
What do you want your legacy to be?
Did Cadets make a difference to your life? Is flying your passion? Do you believe in investing in the potential of Canadian youth? If so, consider leaving a gift to the Air Cadet League in your will.
Supporting the Cadets can be incorporated into your financial planning as well. Many forms of charitable giving such as donations of life insurance, stocks or investments and gifts made through trusts or gift annuities have significant tax benefits and can help donors both give and receive.
Gifts-in-kind are non-cash donations. Gifts-in-kind could include aircrafts, property, artwork, services and so on. The Air Cadet League will determine if your donation can be accepted. In many cases charitable tax receipts can be issued for fair market value of the item.
The Air Cadet Program depends greatly on the efforts of volunteers at the local, provincial and national level. Giving your time is an invaluable way that you can support the Air Cadets.
Each President Club membership will help support Cadet programs across Canada, serving thousands of our youth each year. You will help launch exciting, new initiatives that provide our Cadets with new skills, personal direction, leadership options and a lifetime of memories! Click here for more details.
