The SFEA funds initial glider flight training, solo flights, advanced glider training along with associated examinations and flight tests. In our first year of operation the SFEA solicited and received cash donations and a matching grant of $25,000. We awarded flight scholarships of up to $1,000 to three teenagers. We are continuing our fundraising efforts in order to qualify for the matching grant. 28610 0 In fiscal year ending 8/31/2023, we provided over $10,000 in scholarship grants to seven high school age youth for flight instruction. 10826 0 During the fiscal year ending 8/31/2024, the SFEA purchased and installed an advanced Glider Flight Simulator consisting of cockpit seating and controls, three video monitors, a gaming computer and Condor Glider Flight Simulator Software. In the first season the simulator was used for training specific, repeatable flight scenarios. Flight instructors considered it an excellent device to continue flight training during inclement weather. We provided financial and mentor support to seven youth for their flight training. Three of the young people accomplished their first solo, flying the aircraft with no one else in the plane. This is a major flight training accomplishment and a memorable life experience for them. 26842 0 0 Stephen Nesser President 2 0 0 0 Roy Forsstrom Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Leon Zeug Secretary 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN Stephen Nesser 480 Otis Ave St Paul MN 55104 6128508237 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 28610 27487 29609 85706 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28610 27487 29609 85706 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85706 0 921 1340 2261 0 0 0 0 0 0 921 1340 2261 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28610 28408 30949 87967 0.97430 0.966 0.02570 0.034 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Scholarship grants Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Insurance, Bank Fees, 50% of cost for Glider Flight Simulator for training Obtaining correct data for end of fiscal year
