Mission Statement:

The mission of the New Mexico Wing of Grace Flight is to provide FREE air transportation to fill health care and other compelling human needs. There is never a charge for a Grace Flight. We neither solicit nor accept donations from our passengers. Our volunteer pilots cover all flight costs.

Primary Programs:

We provide FREE non-emergency air transportation for New Mexicans in need. We fly patients between remote areas and central medical facilities in Albuquerque, and between their home locations and specialty clinics in adjacent states. We fly Veterans from outlying areas to the VA Medical Center in Albuquerque. We fly cancer and burn survivor children to special needs camps and foster-care children to adoption events. We fly domestic violence victims to safe havens. We fly medical personnel to outlying clinics. We fly family members, service dogs, blood, organs, tissues, and anyone and anything else required to meet health care and other compelling human needs.

The majority of our flights are in private aircraft. However, when commercial air transportation is less expensive or more practical, and when funds are available, we purchase commercial tickets for our passengers. Basically, our private aircraft are best for relatively short flights originating or terminating in small towns. For greater distances, and between large cities, commercial air transportation is generally less expensive and more practical than using private aircraft.

All of our pilots, management personnel, and staff are volunteers. We do not have any salaried positions, nor do we employ paid fundraisers or other paid consultants. We operate out of private offices, using private computers, telephone systems, and office equipment. Our overhead costs are minimal.
