Community Giving
Fly for a Cause.
How it works
Raise money every time your community flies
We’re proud to support the schools and community organizations that make Sonoma Valley a great place to live. Rather than donating auction items, we give through Fly for a Cause — a performance-based program that turns your supporters’ balloon flights into donations for your organization.
- Your own booking link & code. Once approved, your organization gets a custom tracking link and code to share with families, members and supporters.
- 10% back to you. For a 6-month fundraising window, we donate 10% of the fare for every passenger who completes a Join-In flight booked with your link or code.
- Tools to share it. We provide a partner toolkit — email and social media templates plus a booking button for your website.
- One check. A single donation check is issued within 30 days of your 6-month window closing.
The fine print
- Flown flights only. Donations are earned on completed flights. If a flight is canceled for weather or safety and not rescheduled, or a passenger is a no-show, no donation is earned.
- Join-In flights only. Donation credit applies to Join-In flight bookings. Gift card purchases don’t count, since gift cards are returnable.
- No stacking. The program can’t be combined with other discounts, promotions or special offers, and the code must be used at the time of booking.
Who’s eligible
- Approved groups: we prioritize K–12 schools and registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
- Location: priority goes to organizations based in Sonoma Valley and the North Bay.
- Not eligible: political parties, campaigns or politically affiliated groups; religious sectarian or purely denominational programs; for-profit businesses; and individual fundraising pages.
