Who do we support?

The JetBlue Foundation is committed to supporting aviation-related education, and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) initiatives. Inspiring the next generation of aviation pioneers is a responsibility JetBlue takes very seriously. At JetBlue, inspiration is more than an idea – it’s our mission. No other airline has gone on record to solely focus on supporting aviation education, and we are proud of our commitment to serve the communities in which we live and fly.
