Our Member Organizations Air Charity Network™ (ACN) is comprised of independent member organizations identified by specific geographical service areas.   Airlift Hope, Angel Flight Central, Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic, Angel Flight Northeast, Angel Flight Southeast, Angel Flight West and Mercy Flight Southeast coordinate volunteer pilot missions in the continental United States as well as Alaska and Hawaii.    Mercy Medical Airlift, coordinates free airline tickets for missions over 1,000 miles and negotiates low cost air ambulance service for individuals and families, who are in need of this special service.

Our Leadership

The Air Charity Network is a collaborative "bottom-up" structure instead of a typical "top-down" organization. Each of the seven member organizations hold a seat on the ACN Board and the officer positions currently rotate annually among the member organizations. Air Charity Network also has a full-time Executive Director who helps manage the day-to-day national-level responsibilities and foster healthy and helpful cooperative communication among the members.

Each individual member organization has its own full-time staff and autonomous Board of Directors. While most policies and procedures are commonly shared by each of the members, there are a few unique qualities within each due to geographic location, populations served and regional cultural aspects. However, the mission and purpose of all members is focused on "giving hope wings" to children and adults in need by leveraging aviation resources.
