Timing Your Gift
For every $1 donated to AFAS, the Air Force Aid Society provides $3 toward emergency help, college scholarships and grants, With these funds, AFAS was able to help over 37,000 Airmen and their families last year alone. Of these funds, 79% of AFAS Emergency Financial Assistance was provided to the Total Force (Active Duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen), with the remaining funds helping Air Force retired and widowed.
In 2018, $21.4 million in total support was provided to Airmen and their families for emergencies ranging from rent assistance to natural disaster relief.
