Our services are provided without desire for financial gain. Operational costs are recovered, where possible, from the relevant departments of health, medical aid societies and other medical and associated organisations that utilise the service.
As a non-profit organisation, we rely heavily on donations to maintain our services. One hundred percent of donor monies go towards maintaining aircraft, purchasing lifesaving medical equipment and expanding services. There are various ways of giving, ranging from a monthly donation on a fixed basis to a once-off contribution. Companies are invited to join our planned giving programme, have an event on our behalf or link their product with our brand, for added value. Individuals can also donate via leaving a bequest or legacy in their will. All donations receive a Section 18A tax certificate (applicable to South African donors), a thank you letter and, where appropriate, media releases will be distributed.
There are various ways of giving:

With Payroll Giving you are able to choose the size of your donation and how often you wish to give - whether a few rands or hundreds of rands, every little bit helps.
