Angel Flight of New England Inc
Providing Flights of Healing and Hope
Mission
Coordinate FREE NON-EMERGENCY MEDICAL AIR TRANSPORTATION for patients to access specialized life-saving medical care that is not available in their geographic area for as long and as often that a patient needs our assistance. These services are not covered by healthcare and many patients have exhausted all financial means so they can not afford to fly commercially or their immune system is compromised.
Notes from the nonprofit
Distance should never be an obstacle for someone to access medical care. We provide our free air transportation services so this is the case and we never turn anyone away. Our volunteer pilots donate their time, planes, fuel and compassion but we also have a full time mission coordination team who works 24x7 ensuring that each flight is made possible. It costs us approximately $500 per flight to coordinate and take any where for 4 to 8 hours. Support is needed to ensure that we can provide our services for as long and as often as a patient needs assistance.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To ensure that distance is never an obstacle for patients to access life-saving medical care that is not readily available to them.

To partner with more aviation partners and encourage foundations and corporations to assist us to ensure distance is never an obstacle for life-saving care. We are also looking to forge more relationships with rare & ultra-rare disease organizations so we can assist their patients access the specialized care they need.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We complete 10 grants a month and are consistently meeting with potential sponsors. Also, we are actively in discussions with other nonprofits to discuss how we can assist them.
