Getting Started with Build A Plane
Donate a Plane and Get a Tax Deduction
Build A Plane solicits aircraft donations then re-gifts those aircrafts to schools at no charge. We accept all kinds of aircraft from kits to complete airplanes that need to be re-built or re-furbished. Aircraft donors are given tax receipts for their charitable contribution.
What is Build A Plane
Build A Plane is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting aviation and aerospace by giving young people the opportunity to build real airplanes. Aircraft construction and restoration is not only exciting, but also provides a real-world application for learning science, technology, engineering and math.
What is Build A Rocket
Build A Rocket is a new program giving schools across the United States an opportunity to build a high performance, high power 18' rocket. The rocket comes in an easy to assemble premanufactured kit and delivers a leading edge, high tech STEM education project to motivate students toward higher education.
Is Flying with CBD Still An Issue?
Flying on a commercial airline is a thrill for most passengers. However, for many people, flying may fill the passenger with anxiety. Medications, both prescribed and over-the-counter, help millions of passengers, but one new chemical that is helping passengers fly with ease is CBD oil.

Help Find Neglected Airplanes for Donation
Virtually every airport in America has them. Those airplanes with the flat tires, the bird’s nests, and no one can remember when last they flew. You can help Build A Plane find a potential project plane for a school by taking a look at your local airport for these types of aircraft.

Take a look at the schools requesting a donated aircraft for a Build A Plane project. While requests to start a Build A Plane project usually exceeds the number of airplanes donated, Build A Plane provides guidance to help each school promote their need for an aircraft in local and social media, and the Build A Plane website and e-newsletter.
