Our Patrons are those that have made larger cash or property donations to the Jim Richmond Backcountry Aviation Foundation, and they are incredibly important to accomplishing the mission we have set out to do. If you have backcountry property that is aviation accessible (or could be developed for aviation access) and have wanted to open it to the public, we can help. When property is donated to JRBAF, we take over the managing the property itself, managing the public access, and paying the operational costs. The doner still can use and enjoy the property at will, while also receiving a tax deduction for the full appraised value of the property. Donating a property eliminates any liability concerns the doner may have in allowing public access, and can also create a lasting family legacy for generations to come.
