The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) is an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization that focuses on preserving, improving, and creating backcountry airstrips for general aviation use.[1] The RAF works with many national and state government organizations to identify new areas for airstrips and then assists with their funding. The RAF also educates members of government and the general public about the importance of backcountry airstrips and the need to keep them for future generations.[2] The Recreational Aviation Foundation maintains liaisons and ambassadors in most U.S. states to help lead projects at the local level.[3]
