Mission
[edit]The three-pronged charter supports the Air Force mission by
- providing worldwide emergency assistance to members and their families,
- sponsoring educational assistance programs, and
- 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]
