Mission

edit

The three-pronged charter supports the Air Force mission by

  1. providing worldwide emergency assistance to members and their families,
  2. sponsoring educational assistance programs, and
  3. offering base community programs that improve Airman/family welfare.[2]

As of early 2015, AFAS was paying for a staff of 21 people, all at its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

Thanks to investment income and operational leverage, each $1 of donations from airmen is complemented by $2 from other sources.[3]
