Support the Capital Campaign for  the 
Champaign Aviation Museum:
Building Expansion for Learning & Exhibits

After a multi-year Capital Campaign, you have helped CAM raise over $1.91M to expand the building for learning and exhibits. Excellent progress is being made on the project and we look forward to completing construction this year. As the project capstone to make the new building fully accessible, we need your donation of support to finish the connecting ramp to the airfield. 

$43,452 is needed to complete this essential piece of pavement.   

  Please consider donating to help pave the way for continued progress and to ensure the unique, hands-on learning experiences at the Museum are available for future generations.

The new building will provide:

  • Expanded hangar space and essential area for the imminent wing attachments of the B-17 Flying Fortress restoration and new opportunities to create programs and exhibits about the aircraft metalworking techniques and machining done by the Greatest Generation.

  • Opportunity for new educational displays highlighting WWII Veterans and their experiences while fighting to preserve our freedom, as well as the experiences of those on the home front. 

  • More workspace for maintenance of our active aircraft in a public space so that visitors can observe and learn directly from our Volunteers.  Expansion also allows the Museum to accept future donations of aircraft.
