Timing Your Gift
For every $1 donated to AFAS, the Air Force Aid Society dedicates $3 toward emergency help, college scholarships and grants, With these funds, AFAS was able to help over 26,000 Air Force and Space Force families last year alone. Of these funds, 92% of AFAS Emergency Financial Assistance was provided to the Total Force (Active Duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen), leaving 8% to retirees and widows.
In 2020, $12.5 million in total support was provided to Air Force and Space Force families for emergencies ranging from rent assistance to natural disaster relief.
