Fundraising success stories

People have raised money for MAF in incredibly varied ways over the years – from 70 sea swims in 70 days or swimming the Strait of Gibraltar to wing walking.

MAF supporter and foodie Matthew had an idea that led to a Guinness World Record!

Relax, your fundraising idea doesn’t have to be that big or dramatic! A good place to start is thinking about what you are good at or interested in. For more real-life examples of fundraising and for a whole bunch of ideas, download your Fundraising Guide below.

Making an impact

All funds raised, no matter how large or small, enable us to do what we do!

Gift of sight

Enough to fly a specialist nurse to remote areas in Kenya to carry out critical eye health surgery, restoring sight.

Gift of flight

Enough to fund a jerry can of fuel for a 15-minute flight that makes the difference between life and death.

Gift of water

Enough to fly water pump equipment to build wells in Olturot, Kenya.

Gift of education

Enough to fly one student to boarding school in Arnhem Land, where schools are inaccessible by road.

‘It was a totally amazing and fulfilling experience fundraising for MAF. I felt uplifted and inspired by it. It made me so happy to use something I enjoy to raise money for such an important cause. And I felt fully supported along the way.’

Sally Giles, Kent

Fundraising by yourself

It’s wonderful that you’re interested in raising funds for MAF. Fundraisers like you seriously help keep our planes flying so we can keep bringing help, hope and healing to isolated people around the world. You’re making a real difference, and we’re super grateful to have you on board!

We have three great fundraising opportunities for you to consider:

1 – Right now – 80 for 80 Challenge

To celebrate 80 years of flying practical help, spiritual hope and physical healing to the world’s most isolated people, we’re inviting world changers like you to join our 80 for 80 Challenge – a fun way of honouring the story of MAF and investing in the next 80 years! We’re asking you to set yourself your own 80-related challenge! The question is, ‘What could YOU do for 80?’ Click HERE to find our more.

2 – April 2026 – Brighton Marathon

Ever fancied the challenge of running 26.2 miles? We have three spaces on the Brighton Marathon in spring 2026! It’s a race known for a more relaxed and friendly vibe than other major marathons. It also boasts amazing views of the seafront! Successful applicants will need to raise a minimum of £1,000 support. Email co-pilot@maf-uk.org if you’d like to take part.

3 – September 2026 – Isolation Trial

Unique to MAF Co-Pilot, this event is not for the faint-hearted. It will test your resourcefulness and grit as you use orienteering skills to navigate your way from ‘isolation’ to a mystery location and experience some of the barriers that the people MAF serves need to overcome on a daily basis. To find out more and express your interest, visit HERE.

About MAF UK

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is the world’s largest humanitarian air operator. For over 75 years we have been flying light aircraft over jungles, mountains, swamps and deserts. We enable more than 1,500 aid, development and mission organisations to bring medical care, emergency relief and long-term development. Our pilots and personnel deliver relief workers, doctors, pastors, school books, food, medicines - everything that can only be safely and speedily delivered by air. Our faithful supporters give and pray to make this all possible.
