At the Jim Richmond Backcountry Aviation Foundation, we carry forward Jim’s passion for the wild places—remote landscapes that nourish the soul and spark a deeper connection with nature and with ourselves. Through his legacy, we acquire, develop, and preserve aviation accessible backcountry properties, opening them to the public for discovery, adventure, and renewal—both today and for generations to come.

In Jim’s name, we use aviation to steward the backcountry—protecting its wildness, inspiring exploration, and ensuring a lasting legacy of freedom in flight.

If you’d like to join us on this journey, here’s how you can help: your donation directly supports new backcountry airstrips, education for pilots and the public, and the long-term protection of aviation access in the wild places we all cherish.
