Air Cadet Charity CIO is a UK grantmaker focused almost exclusively on supporting Royal Air Force Air Cadets squadrons and cadets. Its funding is designed to remove financial barriers and expand access to aviation, adventure training, qualifications, wellbeing supports, and digital tools that build confidence, skills, and employability. The charity tends to back practical, equipment- and program-based needs that directly improve cadet participation and training delivery.
Program-specific grants with defined application windows; some schemes are annual while others are phased or newly launching. Grants are typically targeted at squadron/unit needs rather than unrestricted support, and the charity appears to fund standardized equipment, bursaries, and activity-related costs aligned to RAFAC priorities.
