Our commitment to “Caring for the World We Carry” includes our dedication to the communities where our business operates.
Through active engagement with our workforce and contributions to local and global initiatives, Atlas and our employees passionately support local and global causes that foster vibrant communities.
We focus our community engagement in three areas connected to our global operating network:

We work to develop a strong pipeline of diverse and skilled talent to help strengthen the aviation industry into the future. As part of our mission, we engage with students early in their studies and continue through high school and college as they progress on their professional journey.
In addition to our long-standing partnership with local Junior Achievement programs, our employees participate in several student outreach, education and engagement efforts, sharing their experience with careers in aviation. More than 60 Atlas employees served as Atlas Air Ambassadors in 2024, bringing their expertise and passion for aviation, answering students’ questions, encouraging their learning and inspiring the next generation of professionals.
To help shape the next generation of aviation professionals, Atlas has partnered with the University of Alaska Anchorage, committing $50,000 in scholarships in 2024. These needs-based awards include four $5,000 scholarships for aspiring Aviation Maintenance Technicians and three $10,000 scholarships for future pilots.
We stand by the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families as the largest provider of military passenger and cargo airlift worldwide. We support military charities and other organizations through our Atlas Air Annual Charity Golf Tournament – an event Atlas is proud to have hosted for more than 20 years.
We support our communities in a variety of ways – from financial contributions and employee volunteering to quickly mobilizing goods and personnel during natural disasters or public health emergencies. Our employees are dedicated to giving back, contributing their time and resources to meaningful causes in local communities where they work and live.
Atlas and our employees helped provide disaster relief after Hurricanes Milton and Helene struck the Southeastern U.S., as well as during the wildfires in the Western U.S. in 2024. In addition to financial contributions and hands-on involvement, Atlas pilots volunteered with Wings of Rescue, a nonprofit that transports humanitarian aid and at-risk pets.
