Helping AIRMEN AND GUARDIANS
OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO AIR FORCE FAMILIES AND SPACE FORCE IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM AIRMEN, GUARDIANS AND FRIENDS OF THE USAF AND USSF. 100 PERCENT OF THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE USED TO SUPPORT THE AFAS MISSION. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS TO HELP AFAS HELP AIRMEN AND GUARDIANS:
AIR FORCE ASSISTANCE FUND Air Force Aid Society is one of four important Air Force charities that benefit from the annual Air Force Assistance Fund campaign. The Air Force Assis- tance Fund campaign is run by the U.S. Air Force and includes solicitation on behalf of the Society. Air Force members can designate which charity will receive their donation and are encouraged to contribute. Revenue received from AFAF is the primary source of donation revenue to the Society and truly embodies the Airmen Helping Airmen philosophy. For more information, visit www.afassistancefund.org. DIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions from individuals, corporations, founda- tions, and organizations – Air Force and civilian – are always accepted. Gifts can be made in the form of cash, check, credit card or direct debit. Gifts can be made online at www.afas.org or by contacting us at (703) 972-2650. PLANNED GIFT / ESTATE PLANNING Let us help you with your estate planning, visit afas. giftlegacy.com/. Here are a few ways you can make a significant gift to help further our mission: • An IRA rollover allows people age 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA. • Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to our organization.
• A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause. Consider leaving a legacy by naming “Air Force Aid Society, Inc.” as a beneficiary.
The AFAS tax ID number is 54-1797281.
TRIBUTE GIVING Pay your respects to someone dear while paying it forward to our Airmen. Donations of at least $25 may be designated as a tribute gift. Tribute giving options allow you the chance to designate your gift to AFAS in memory of someone who has passed on or in honor of someone who still inspires you. HELP SHARE THE AFAS MISSION Giving back isn’t just about money. You can also help AFAS advance its mission and highlight wonderful examples of Airmen Helping Airmen by sharing your passion for our organization with others.
