in times of need.
OUR
mission
The Air Force Aid Society, a private non-profit organization, supports the
mission of the Air Force by relieving financial distress of Air Force members and
their families, assisting with education goals and improving quality of life
through proactive programs.
History
FOREWORD
The Air Force Aid Society is the official charity of the United States Air Force, incorporated in 1942 as a
private, non-profit organization. It traces its roots to the outbreak of World War II and the rapid
expansion of the Army Air Corps under the leadership of General Henry H. “Hap” Arnold. As General
Arnold and his wife Bee became increasingly concerned that mission demands would put incredible
stress on Air Corps members and their families, they acted to create a relief organization that would
emphasize Airmen helping Airmen.
The Arnolds envisioned an organization that would mirror the Army Air Corps ideal of doing whatever it
took to complete the mission…wherever, whenever, and however it was necessary, the aviation
community would take care of its own. General Arnold was successful in attracting influential help from
inside and outside the military, such as World War I Ace Capt Eddie Rickenbacker who founded Eastern
Airlines and subsequently served as President of the Society for 27 years. Others included General Carl A.
“Tooey” Spaatz who would become the Air Force’s first Chief of Staff, entertainer Arthur Godfrey,
International Business Machines (IBM) pioneer Tom Watson, and Milt Caniff of Steve Canyon comic strip
fame. Their generous contribution of time and resources helped create and perpetuate what we know
today as the Air Force Aid Society.

MESSAGE FROM THE
President
As President of the Air Force Aid Society, it is truly a privilege to
serve with a singularly distinguished and committed group of
trustees, including the Air Force Secretary, Chief of Staff and the
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, who all share the
common purpose of helping Airmen. I am especially beholden
for the dedicated work of the provident Headquarters AFAS staff
under the preeminent leadership of Lieutenant General John
Hopper, Jr. (USAF, Ret), AFAS representatives at Air Force bases
around the world, our sister relief societies, and other partners.
You tirelessly work together to ensure our Airmen and their
families receive the assistance and advocacy they need –
thank you!
March 10, 2012 marked the 70th anniversary of the founding of
our Air Force Aid Society by General Henry “Hap” Arnold and his
wife Bee. General and Mrs. Arnold became increasingly
concerned that mission demands would put incredible stress on
Air Corps members and their families. How relevant to the
current environment that surrounds our Airmen and their
families! The Arnolds envisioned an organization that would
mirror the Army Air Corps ideal of doing whatever it took to
complete the mission….”wherever, whenever and however.”
Their vision equally captures the mission of our United States Air
Force, our Airmen and our families today as it defines our AFAS
purpose.
Mick McKeown
President
From our Army Air Corps heritage, the AFAS continues to rely
upon the “Wingman concept.” The Society could not provide
$18 million in assistance without “Wingmen” like the USAF
Charity Ball, corporations, individuals and, of course, the
donations of our very generous Airmen through the Air Force
Assistance Fund. My sincere thanks to all those who fly our
wing—you are truly making a difference in the lives of Airmen
and their families!
During World War II, the Society collected funds through
voluntary contributions and memberships to be used for relief
even after the war. Formally activated as a relief organization in
1946, the Aid Society helped 5,000 Air Force personnel and their
dependents with $320,000 in assistance during that first postwar year. Fast forward to 2012 and we find the Society has
matured into a worldwide relief organization. Airmen and their
families can now receive financial assistance 365 days a year
wherever they may be serving.
Seventy years after the Arnolds founded the Air Force Aid Society,
we have much to be proud of in meeting the financial and
personal needs of Airmen. My promise to you is that the Air
Force Aid Society will continue to sustain the legacy of General
and Mrs. Arnold by responding to the needs of our Airmen and
their families with care and concern. They are our mission. They
deserve nothing less.
The core mission of the AFAS, “Airmen helping Airmen” remains
true to the vision of the Arnolds, but remarkably, 2012 direct
assistance totaled nearly $18 million, and includes more
than 40,000 assists to Airmen and their families. How
we have grown!

ANNUAL REPORT
MESSAGE FROM THE
CEO
Our business is helping Airmen and in 2012, business was
good! If you’re just learning about The Aid Society, then
remember, our primary focus is always on “Emergency
Assistance” (EA) to Airmen—but of course that is not all we do.
When you consider all the ways the Society reaches out to
Airmen, in 2012 we provided more than 40,000 assists to
Airmen with support totaling $17.8M. This level of support is
only possible from high quality, well-managed programs and
consistent success in fund raising.
A sluggish economy continues to create needs while it makes
fund raising an ever-greater challenge. Emergency Assistance
(EA) remains firmly fixed as our first priority. In 2012 we saw an
increase of almost 10% in the number of “assistance actions”.
As a result, spending for EA in 2012 increased over a million
dollars while the number of requests disapproved decreased by
20%! We were also pleased to continue supporting the
dependents of eligible Airmen with our $2,000 Arnold
Education Grants. However, I am disappointed because this
year the program did not fully execute. We budgeted for 3,000
Grants but ended with only 2,787 dependents with a validated
financial need. It seems that many assume because of their
income they will not qualify, but we will continue to remind
them that every situation is different with “the number of kids
in college” as well as the actual cost of tuition being big factors
in determining financial need. 2012 marks year two of the
enhanced Arnold program that offers ten merit based
scholarships. We start with our Grant applicants and remove
the requirement for financial need while screening for
“validated” high GPA’s (3.95/4.0 and including home schooled).
That resulted in almost 100 essays to read and rate. The ten
winners were impressive and grateful. Our Community
Enhancement Programs remain popular and well supported;
although, I believe we are starting to see the effect of small
reductions in operating tempo. We under executed in several
programs, and most dramatically in the “phone card” program
which plugs directly into deployed first sergeants as the source
of demand.
John D. Hopper, Jr.
Chief Executive Officer
“big deal”! The 2012 Ball followed the pattern of the last few
years of being a huge success, and generating net revenues of
over $656K to the Society. Outside those two large events I
want to say thank you to the individual donors and corporations
that continue to trust the Society to help Airmen. Thanks to all,
the $6.78M raised in 2012 becomes our fourth best fund
raising year since at least 2000!
As we look forward to 2013 there will be plenty of issues to
work and places we will seek your support. Our Finance
Committee has capital markets under a microscope as the
economy remains a work-in-progress. Continuing issues with
the Federal budget remain a concern for their impact on Airmen
and their families. As a result, fund raising and portfolio
management remain under constant pressure.
I want to close with my heartfelt thanks to our Trustees. They
are not compensated, yet they work tirelessly and spend freely
to bring the best support to America’s Airmen. We simply could
not do what we do without their strong guidance. With their
help and your support I remain confident the Society is well
positioned to provide the critical support to keep America’s
Airmen focused on defending freedom around the world!
We appreciate the support of so many of you in raising funds
for the Society’s support of Airmen. The Air Force Assistance
Fund drive is central to our theme of “Airmen helping Airmen”
and 2012 was another successful campaign with donors
pledging $5.1M to the Society. The AF Charity Ball is officially a

THE SOCIETY’S
Ensuring Worldwide Access to Society Programs
The Air Force Aid Society is comprised of 21 staff members at
our headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Operating with a
small staff allows the Society to keep overhead costs low and
ensures that 100% of donated dollars are returned to Air
Force members and their families.
The Society maintains cross-servicing agreements with Army
Emergency Relief, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Coast
Guard Mutual Assistance, and the American Red Cross, making
it possible for military members of all services to receive
emergency assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Other
important organizations in our network include ACT, Inc. which
works closely with our Education Department to ensure
unbiased selection of Education Grant recipients; Carlson
Wagonlit Travel which provides Airmen and their families with
low cost electronic ticketing for emergency travel, and the Fisher
House which provides housing built on the grounds of major
military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family
members to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for
an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
Airman and Family Readiness Centers (A&FRCs) around the
world are the home to most Air Force Aid Society Sections.
Community Readiness Consultants and Technicians in the
A&FRCs disburse emergency assistance loans and grants, and
oversee the Society’s programs at base level. We are grateful
to have AFAS housed in this supportive environment and
appreciate the caring service provided by the staff.

EmergencyASSISTANCE
Air Force Aid Society emergency assistance is provided to Air Force
members and their dependents to meet immediate needs in an
emergency situation when personal resources are not available.
The Society provides interest-free loans and grants based on the
individual situation as a step toward a lasting solution to a problem.
There were over 20,000 cases in 2012 with $9.4 million provided in
interest-free loans and $747 thousand in grant assistance.
Consistent with other years, the majority of assistance,
approximately $7.9 million, nearly 79 percent, was given to assist
junior personnel in the rank of Staff Sergeant and below.
Of the $10.1 million given for emergency assistance needs, 92
percent went to the Active Force, including eligible Air Force Reserve
and Air National Guard, with the remaining 8 percent helping Air
Force retired and/or widowed persons.

EmergencyASSISTANCE
In their own words…
The AFAS Falcon Loan is an emergency assistance loan up to $750 provided
to active duty members through a streamlined application process. In 2012,
over half of the emergency assistance loans were given as Falcon Loans.
Airmen who received a Falcon Loan in 2012 were asked to complete a survey
and provide feedback about their loan:
“This is an awesome program. I don’t know what I would have done
if I wouldn’t have gotten the money I needed so quickly.”
“Thank you! This money was a lifesaver to get me on a flight back home
during two concurrent family emergencies.”
“Great program. Never thought I would need it but definitely came
through when I was strapped. Didn’t feel judged and felt like
they genuinely wanted to help.”
“If the Falcon Loan wasn’t available, my wife would not have been able to go
home for her grandfather’s funeral. It was a godsend.”
“This is a great program that really helped my family out of a
tight situation and it is greatly appreciated.”
“Words can’t express the gratitude I have towards this program.
Without this program there would be a lot of people in trouble in
these tough economic times. Thank you for what you do.”

Education Grant Program:
General George S. Brown
Spouse Tuition Assistance
Program (STAP):
2,787 need-based grants of $2,000 were awarded to Air Force
family members enrolled for the 2012-2013 academic year as
full-time undergraduate students. Various categories of
eligible applicants have benefited from this, the centerpiece of
the Society’s educational initiatives, as demonstrated below:
Due to Air Force cuts in Voluntary Education manpower, base
Education Centers could no longer support the STAP program
for spouses at OCONUS locations after 31 July 2012. After
exploring possible solutions sets to keep STAP operational, the
Society reluctantly decided to discontinue the program at the
conclusion of the 2011-2012 academic year (31 July 2012).
However, in an effort to maintain some support of spouses at
OCONUS locations, eligibility under the General Arnold
Education Grant Program was expanded to include spouses at
overseas locations for the 2012-2013 academic year.
n $1.9M to sons, daughters, and spouses of Active Duty
members, and $55K to children of Active Guard members.
n $3.3M awarded to children of retirees (includes Retired
Reserve).
n $68K supported children and surviving spouses of
deceased members.
STAP had a net outlay of $26.5M over its 25 year history,
averaging nearly 3,000 spouses assisted annually. STAP still
provided $220K in tuition assistance to nearly 500 spouses
during calendar year 2012.
These grants are competitive in their need-based selection
criteria. To ensure an unbiased selection, AFAS has continued
to contract with ACT Inc. (formerly known as American College
Testing) for determination of financial need and disbursement
services. ACT is an independent organization located in Iowa
City, IA that has provided standards-based assessment and
support services for scholarship sponsors for over 45 years.
Supplemental Education Loan:
Designed to reimburse families for incidental college expenses,
such as books, fees, and curriculum-required equipment, these
interest-free loans are offered to all of the regular Active Duty
and regular retired families from our General Arnold Education
Grant applicant pool. Loans are capped at $1,000 per
student. By accepting the loan, sponsoring members agree to
repayment by allotment over a 10-month period.
The number of grants the Society can fund each year depends
on available resources as shared among emergency
assistance, education, and community enhancement programs.
Overall selection rate was 65% of all those who applied.
Note: Arnold Grant outlays shown above are net of $263K in
refunds from previous grant cycles, due to non-enrollments.*
181 loans totaling $202K were issued to sponsoring members
to assist 209 students meet their 2012 educational costs.

Merit Scholarships
AFAS issued $50,000 in merit-based scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year. Potential applicants were limited to
incoming college freshmen identified from the Gen Arnold Education Grant Program as Air Force dependents enrolled as fulltime students with top grade point averages. All were asked to provide resumes of their community service and extracurricular
activities, college-assessment test scores, class rankings, transcripts and an essay on a given topic.
All of the applicants had outstanding academic credentials, but after careful review of all submissions, these ten finalists were
selected to receive the $5,000 awards.

Ops Exp
n The Society’s investment portfolio is managed by outside investment professionals with oversight provided by the Finance
Committee and the Society’s headquarters staff. The portfolio generated a net return of $18.3 million, or 12.76%, in 2012. This
positive performance helped drive the value of the portfolio up to $157 million as of 12/31/2012. Maintaining a sizable
portfolio enables the Society to bridge the gap between the amount of assistance provided and the amount of donations
collected each year. In order to fully fund operations in 2012, almost $6.2 million was pulled from the investment portfolio.
n The Air Force Assistance Fund drive contributed $4.6 million to the Society in 2012, an increase of 3.1% over 2011. This annual
fund drive truly demonstrates the “airmen helping airmen” motto embraced by the Society. Total contributions climbed to
$6.78 million for the year, an increase of 7.4%.
n The successful 2012 USAF Charity Ball raised a net $656,000 to benefit the Society. Kudos to the Air Force Officers’ Spouses’
Club of Washington D.C. for orchestrating another wonderful event.
n In 2012, the Society was able to provide $17.8 million in direct assistance to Air Force members and their families in the form of
interest-free loans, grants, and community programs.
$1M of program funding requires $17M of investments, earning 6% annually
Notes:
1. Investments include: US Equity, International Equity, Fixed Income, Hedge Funds, Real Estate, Private Equity, and Cash Equivalents.
2. Donations include the Air Force Assistance Fund (AFAF) drive and direct contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations.
3. Return on Investment represents the interest, dividends, and market gains/(losses) earned on our investment portfolio net of any investment fees.
4. Program & Operating Expenses do not include emergency assistance loans since they are classified as loans receivable assets and not an expense.

HOW TO
The Air Force Assistance Fund
Annual Campaign
“Helping to Create Awareness”
The Society is one of four affiliates of the Air Force Assistance
Fund (AFAF). The annual AFAF Campaign, which is run within
the Air Force, includes solicitation on behalf of the Society. Air
Force members are able to designate which affiliate will
receive their donation and are encouraged to contribute
through payroll deductions/allotment. This annual campaign is
the primary source of donations to the Society and supports
the “Airmen helping Airmen” philosophy on which AFAS was
founded. For a more complete understanding of AFAF
donations received and assistance given by AF Sections, please
refer to the chart on pages 16 and 17.
Memorials/In Honor
Of Donations
Donations of $25 or more may be made in memory of a
deceased relative or friend who has served in the Air Force, or
in honor of an individual or group. Memorial/In Honor Of
donations should be mailed to the Air Force Aid Society with the
name and address of donor, name of the memorialized/honored
person and if possible, the name and address of the next of kin
of the memorialized person. Memorial/In Honor Of donations
may also be made by credit card via the Internet by visiting our
web site at www.afas.org or by calling 1-800-769-8951.
Acknowledgement of memorial donations will be sent to both
the donor and the next of kin.

corporations, foundations, and organizations--Air Force and

credit card or allotment. For your convenience, credit card
donations can be made via the Internet by visiting our web
site at www.afas.org. Contributions are also accepted by
phone by calling AFAS Headquarters at 1-800-769-8951.
We invite you to explore our new online Memorial Honor Roll
which includes the names and, when available, a short
biographical sketch of those who have been memorialized. On
the newly designed online Memorial Honor Roll you may search
for a memorialized individual, make a donation to an existing
memorial or create a new memorial.
Bequests/Estate Planning
Some of our most generous contributions have been in the
form of bequests. Consider leaving a legacy by naming “Air
Force Aid Society, Inc.” as a beneficiary in your will/trust. The
Society’s Tax ID number is 54-1797281.
