What National Air Sea Space Foundation Inc does
Mission
The national air, sea and space foundation is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of military, commercial, and civil enterprises in air, sea, and space.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The foundation achieved its program service objectives this year through one signature program. The foundation conducted the cocoa beach air show, april 15-16, 2023, an aviation expedition open to the public with a diverse representation of military and civilian aircraft, educating over 175,000 spectators about the opportunities in the growing industry on "florida's space coast".

In honor of cajun, the national air sea and space foundation is partnering with the florida institute of technology and broward college to create the stephen "cajun" del bango memorial scholarship. Every year the cajun scholarship will go to help students in need to get their wings and pursue a future in aviation.
$3,400 earned by the program
The 2 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $329,100.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $9k to $51k (+440%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 30% · 2022 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of NATIONAL AIR SEA SPACE FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of NATIONAL AIR SEA SPACE FOUNDATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $17k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
