Ryan Aviation Group Pledges Support To The National Museum Of African American Music

April 8, 2026/by Lorie Hollabaugh

The National Museum of African American Music has revealed a new philanthropic partnership with Ryan Aviation Group, who has pledged $100,000 to support the museum’s mission to preserve and celebrate the rich legacy of African American music.

The contribution will support NMAAM’s ongoing work in cultural preservation, education, and storytelling. Through exhibits, live performances, educational initiatives, and digital preservation projects, the museum continues to document and share the central role African Americans play in shaping the American soundtrack.

“The support of Ryan Aviation Group reflects a shared belief in the importance of preserving the cultural legacy of African American music for future generations,” says Bill Jeffries, Executive Director of the National Museum of African American Music. “Partnerships like this allow us to expand our reach and deepen the impact of our programs for communities across the country.”

Ryan Aviation Group, a globally recognized aviation services firm specializing in private charter brokerage and aviation logistics, has built its reputation on delivering premier aviation solutions while also supporting initiatives that strengthen communities and celebrate culture.

“At Ryan Aviation Group, we believe that institutions like NMAAM are essential to preserving the stories and creativity that shape our shared cultural landscape,” says George “JoJo” Wozniak, Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Aviation Group. “We are proud to support the museum’s work and its continued impact on Nashville and beyond.”
