Flying Food Group (FFG), a global airline catering company, actively participates in the International Flight Services Association (IFSA), an organization that annually awards numerous academic scholarships to recipients worldwide. In 2023, FFG helped the IFSA Foundation distribute over 25 scholarships, totaling more than $129,800.

One notable grant is the $25,000 scholarship offered annually by the Sue Ling Gin Charitable Trust, an entity associated with FFG. This scholarship was awarded to Jessica Baumgart in 2023. In a LinkedIn post, Jessica highlighted that she used the scholarship funds to pursue a nursing degree at UCLA.

Over the last few years, FFG has donated over $100,000 to recipients across the country. Since its establishment, IFSA has transformed the lives of over 338 individuals globally, awarding scholarships exceeding $1.6 million.

IFSA extends multiple scholarships to employees of IFSA and APEX members and their families, with a focus on students aspiring to careers in the catering and onboard services industry, as well as the airline passenger experience sector. The Foundation Scholarships, awarded to outstanding students, cover various expenses associated with college, including tuition, books, and living costs.

Established in 1983 by Sue Ling Gin, a first-generation Chinese American, FFG is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company provides catering services to major airlines such as Air France, Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Swiss Air, and TAP Air Portugal.

Prior to her passing in 2014, Gin founded a charitable trust that now receives all FFG profits. The Sue Ling Gin Foundation Trust was created to continue Gin's philanthropic endeavors and community support.
