The Reno Air Racing Foundation, doing business as Pathways to Aviation, is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization, based in Reno, Nevada. Formed in 2004, the Foundation inspires youth through aviation education and historical preservation. The Foundation collaborates with businesses, organizations, and community leaders to support math and science programs with an emphasis on aviation history and science. Our goal is to provide local students the opportunity to experience the fascinating world of flight.

The Foundation supports programs and initiatives which:

Introduce youth to aviation; Cultivate a desire to fly for recreation, business, and career; Promote learning to fly and obtaining a pilot's license; Support scholarships for students needing assistance in aviation-related education and careers; Perpetuate the growth of aviation, aerospace, and air racing; Engage the aviation community; and, Represent and further the ideals, developments, and strategic direction of aviation.

Join us at the 2015 National Championship Air Races, where we'll be hosting (for the first time ever) the Aviation Learning Center. The Center will feature 30+ vintage aircraft, aviation experts, educational workshops, STEM classes for students, military displays, and the Drone Zone.
