Supporting the deputies who protect Los Angeles County from above
Air 95 Foundation
Air 95 Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Aero Bureau, the men and
women who protect Los Angeles County from the skies, and to connecting
those deputies with the communities they serve.
We provide funding, equipment, and training support that goes beyond
what department budgets alone can cover, helping deputies fly safer and
operate at their full capability. Equally important to our mission is strengthening the bond between the Aero Bureau and the communities it serves.
We open our doors to the public through air shows across Southern California, from Camarillo to Miramar, and through our ongoing partnership with Special Olympics, creating opportunities for residents to see firsthand how these resources are used to keep them safe.
We are committed to operating with full transparency, ensuring the public can see how every dollar donated translates into real capability and real community impact.

What Your Support Makes Possible
Air 95 Foundation is newly established and building its track record alongside the Aero Bureau. Early supporters are helping shape what this foundation becomes.

For decades, the LASD Aero Bureau has provided round-the-clock air support across Los Angeles County, giving deputies on the ground a critical advantage: eyes in the sky.
Critical Response
Aero Bureau crews assist with search and rescue, pursuits, disaster response, and countless calls where minutes matter.
Ongoing Investment
Maintaining that level of readiness depends on trained pilots, reliable aircraft, and ongoing investment, which is exactly where Air 95 Foundation steps in.
FAQ
Is Air 95 Foundation officially affiliated with LASD?
Yes. However, Air 95 Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports the LASD Aero Bureau. We are a separate nonprofit entity, not a government agency, which is what allows donations to be tax-deductible.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Air 95 Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you'll receive a receipt for your records.
How is my donation used?
Donations fund training, equipment, and outreach programs for deputies of Aero Bureau to connect with the community and other non-profits, such as Special Olympics Southern California.
What's the difference between buying merchandise and donating directly?
Both support the mission. Merchandise purchases fund the mission and give you something in return. Direct donations go entirely toward the mission without any product cost involved.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. All transactions are processed securely through Shopify's payment system or a trusted third party, such as Shop, the same infrastructure used by major online retailers. We never see or store your card details directly.
