WHO WE ARE
At Family in Flight, we believe families belong together even when military life makes it difficult. As a nonprofit founded by military spouses and supporters, we’re dedicated to supporting those who face the emotional and logistical challenges of "geo-baching" from their loved ones due to duty stations, extended trainings, or other circumstances beyond their control that last a significant amount of time apart.
​
Our mission is simple: to help military spouses cover travel costs so they can be with their service members, even if just for a short time. Through our travel grants, we aim to ease the financial burden of transportation whether it’s a flight, bus, train, or tank of gas so families can reunite and share meaningful moments together.
But our support doesn’t stop there.
​
Family in Flight is also a community and a place to connect, share, and be seen.
We offer monthly virtual support groups, resources, and encouragement for those currently living apart, preparing to, or reflecting on the journey. Because while the separation is hard, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Through donations, partnerships, and the power of community, we’re building a network of care and solidarity. Whether it's for a weekend visit or a once-in-a-lifetime event, we believe every moment together matters—and every story deserves to be supported.
​
Join us in our mission to bring military families closer, no matter the distance.

To ensure fair distribution of funds, we have a straightforward application process. Eligible military spouses can apply for a travel grant through our website by completing a simple application form. Our dedicated board reviews each application carefully, considering the unique circumstances of each applicant.
Community
At Family in Flight, we know that emotional support is just as important as financial assistance. That’s why we offer monthly virtual support groups where military spouses can connect, share, and support one another through the unique challenges of living apart.
​
Support for All Situations
We understand that every family’s situation is different. Whether the separation is due to relocation, extended training, or medical needs, we are here to help. We provide support for a range of circumstances to ensure that no family is left without the opportunity to reunite.

Continuous Support
In addition to our travel grants, we strive to be a continuous source of support for military families. We collaborate with other military-focused organizations, offer resources and information, and build a community of encouragement and solidarity.
