Located at Paine Field in Mukilteo/Everett, the Foundation's mission is to inspire innovative thinking while engaging and educating visitors by: cultivating curiousity, stimulating imagination, encouraging creativity and experimentation, generating collaboration and exploring solutions. The Foundation is currently launching an innovative education program for middle school ages called Flights of Innovation. This program immerses students in real-life challenges where they assume roles of engineers,scientists, project managers, etc. and work in teams to create innovative solutions to real life problems. This program is much more than a field trip - it is several weeks in the classroom and includes one 5 hour visit to the FoF. It includes teacher training and curriculum which meet all state, regional and federal standards. The Foundation is in the process of launching it's own website which will include more information about the Foundation, our education program and our exhibits. Check out the Fof website to learn about activities at the FOF facility. Contact me to learn more about the FoF Foundation and how you can beoome involved.

One such charity is Vision Charity that raises funds for blind, visually impaired and dyslexic children. If you donate to this charity you will be giving to an organisation run by hands on trustees who care passionately for the cause and who despite all the bad news right now are preparing a strategy for their most successful year to date. Contact me to find out how we work and discover the background to our beneficiaries. Many thanks Bernie Muir There are many smaller charities that do great work by raising funds for related organisations including other charities, research and individuals.
