Mission

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]

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