The NATIONAL AIR DISASTER ALLIANCE/FOUNDATION was founded by air crash survivors and victims’ family members to raise the standard of Safety, Security and Survivability for aviation passengers, and to Support victims’ families. We address the short-term and long-range challenges to promote the highest levels of aviation safety and security so that others are not harmed. At times we are the only aviation safety group on record opposing unsafe practices. We incorporated as non‑profits in 1995, have grown considerably since then.
NADA/F brings people together. We work with survivors, family members, victims’ of terrorism, aviation professionals, emergency responders, government agencies, Congress, social service agencies, the news media and all those who share our goals for aviation safety, security and support for victims’ families. We have made a difference, and together we can do more.
On behalf of our members worldwide,
Matt Ziemkiewicz, President

A Special Request For Your Help…
Please send your 2009 dues of $20, or as generous an amount as you can afford, to the National Air Disaster Foundation today.
As our resources are stretched more than ever, we must reach out to more people . . . both those who have suffered the loss of a love one in an aviation disaster, as well as the flying public. Now is also the time to take advantage of the new opportunities to promote our founding goals. Your donation will help us to cover the basic costs of communicating, including our new website, and our ability to keep it updated and expanded for you.
Perhaps you can consider becoming Newsletter Sponsors for a $3,000 donation, to help cover the newsletter mailing expenses. This is an opportunity for you to honor a loved one, express your views, or have your business recognized, all while supporting higher standards for aviation safety and security.
The NATIONAL AIR DISASTER ALLIANCE/FOUNDATION gives a special Sponsor recognition for your donation of $10,000 or more. Your donation will be held in Trust, and the interest income will be used to promote NADA/F programs, or for a specific purpose. As a Sponsor, you will be recognized, or you may remain anonymous if you prefer. The Trust assures our work for the future.
We need your help to raise the standard of safety, security, survivability, and support for victims’ families after these devastating aviation disasters.
