Atchison Amelia Earhart Foundation Fund

In the legacy of famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, the Atchison Amelia Earhart Foundation exists to educate, inspire and empower all generations in the pursuit of flight. In the summer of 2016, the Foundation acquired Muriel, the last remaining Lockheed Electra 10-E aircraft in the world – the exact same model aircraft Amelia flew on her final, fateful flight around the world.

The Foundation is embarking upon a $14,000,000 fundraising effort to design, build and manage a brand-new hangar facility to preserve Muriel and other items that tell Amelia Earhart’s story, provide exhibits and experiential programming that will serve as educational and tourism attractions and modernize the current Atchison airport to increase its operational efficiency and use. To date, the Foundation has raised almost $8,125,000 towards this effort.
