Grants

Approved grants will be provided on a rolling basis while funding is available. Chapters may submit a request through the link above. Successful grant applications must demonstrate how an initiative will directly support Quality of Life improvements for our Airmen, Guardians and their Families. Chapters exploring support options can consider Childcare, Education, Healthcare, Housing, Food Insecurity, and Spouse Employment as possible areas of focus. However, we encourage all chapters to think creatively in ways they can improve quality of life for Airmen, Guardians, and their Families including issues like food insecurity, morale and professional development.

Recommendations for both grant approval and program support/execution will be provided to AFA. Notification to chapters will occur no later than 30 days after submission.

Upon completion of the grant, AFA chapters will submit an after-action report which includes an event summary, support financials (both within the grant and additional local funding to show AFA’s full support), pictures and any lessons learned – to include best practices for program execution. This information will be used by staff to highlight AFA’s initiatives to improve Quality of Life for our Airmen, Guardians, and their Families, to summarize the levels of support AFA provides DAF families at all levels, and to highlight successful quality of life initiatives for use at other installations.
