In a recent article, Philanthropy News Digest featured the Delta Air Lines Foundation's $3 million gift to Middle Georgia State University, which will be used to help expand and enhance the University’s School of Aviation.
"Awarded to the MGA Foundation, the largest single donation in MGA history includes $1.5 million in support of long-term aviation education initiatives, such as the expansion of partnerships with K-12 schools across the state and the establishment of satellite flight-training locations in rural areas and around Atlanta. In addition, MGA will allocate $500,000 to procure cutting-edge equipment and $1 million to hire faculty, including a new Delta Air Lines Endowed Professorship of Aviation."
