The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) is a US charitable organization advocating for the preservation and creation of airstrips for recreational aviation. The Recreational Aviation Foundation uses tax-deductible donations to identify new areas for airstrips, assists in funding the construction of new airstrips, and promotes recreational aviation and airstrips as a legitimate usage of public land to secure further funding. The Recreational Aviation Foundation maintains liaisons and ambassadors in most U.S. states to help lead projects at the local level.[1]
