Who We Are

CharityWingwalk is a specialized fundraising platform designed for individuals who want to create meaningful impact through memorable experiences. We recognize that the most powerful fundraising campaigns combine personal commitment with community mobilization. Our platform bridges that gap by pairing transformative aerial adventures—specifically wingwalking experiences—with structured, accessible fundraising mechanisms that benefit charities directly.

Unlike traditional fundraising, which often places the financial burden entirely on supporters, our model creates a shared investment model: participants commit through an initial deposit, then leverage their personal network to cover the gap. The result is authentic fundraising with buy-in from both the campaigner and their supporters.

Our Mission

Enable Bold Action

We believe that individuals are capable of extraordinary feats. By providing a structured pathway to attempt something genuinely challenging, we unlock personal growth and self-discovery that ripples outward into stronger fundraising campaigns.

Amplify Charitable Impact

Every wingwalk deposit and fundraised pound flows directly to charities selected by our participants. We remove intermediaries where possible, ensuring that support reaches the organizations and causes that matter most.

Build Authentic Connections

We facilitate relationships between campaigners, supporters, and charitable organizations. When people share their campaign stories, they invite others into the mission—creating communities of purpose, not just donor lists.

How We Work

1

Commitment through Deposit

Participants secure their wingwalk experience with an upfront deposit. This skin-in-the-game approach signals genuine intent and demonstrates personal sacrifice for the cause—a powerful motivator when asking others to contribute.

2

Flexible Fundraising Goals

Campaigners set a fundraising target that extends beyond their deposit. This gap becomes the ask—an achievable challenge that friends, family, and colleagues can support. Transparency around both deposit and goal builds trust and clarity.

3

Charity-Centered Distribution

Funds raised go directly to the charity of the campaigner's choice. We coordinate invoicing with experience providers separately, ensuring your supporters' contributions genuinely support the organization they're passionate about.

4

Shareable Campaign Pages

Each campaign receives a unique, branded page that showcases the fundraiser's story, the selected charity, fundraising progress, and the upcoming wingwalk experience. Supporters can track impact in real time and share with their networks.

5

Experience Delivery & Follow-up

Once fundraising milestones are met, we coordinate the wingwalk experience with our vetted partner providers. Post-experience, we facilitate impact reporting so donors can see the direct outcomes their contributions funded.

Why Wingwalking?

Wingwalking is a uniquely powerful fundraising catalyst. It's distinctive enough to capture attention, challenging enough to demonstrate genuine commitment, and memorable enough that supporters feel they've invested in something truly extraordinary. The experience creates a natural story—one that resonates far beyond the campaign page.

Unlike abstract fundraising asks, a wingwalk creates a concrete narrative: "I'm doing something remarkable, and I'm doing it for a cause I believe in. Will you help me complete this mission?" That clarity and personal risk are incredibly effective in modern fundraising.
