The Fusenot Foundation’s generous grants over the years have absolutely helped the San Diego Air & Space Museum preserve significant artifacts of air and space to inspiring excellence in science, technology, engineering and math. Fusenot Foundation grants enable the Museum to offer inspirational and educational special exhibits, in addition to excellent long-term exhibitions benefiting our visitors from San Diego area communities, as well as visitors from across the country and around the world! The Fusenot Foundation’s grants helped the Museum to enrich the lives of over 25,000 participants last year (2016) through special exhibits as well as the Museum’s AeroSummer Camps and engineering competitions like Fly Your Ride.
