United Forces & Families
Strong families.
Stronger forces.
Supporting our Air Force family has been an important piece of AFA’s mission since our inception in 1946. Eight decades later, we remain committed to supporting all DAF families.
We believe that improving the quality of life for Airmen, Guardians, and their Families is directly linked to stronger Families, united Forces, and the mission effectiveness of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force — that’s why AFA created United Forces & Families.

How to Support Our Military Families
Since 2023, AFA has invested more than $250,000 in quality-of-life initiatives at installations around the world.
AFA Chapters around the nation have used these grants to helped 150,000+ military families receive better access to childcare, food pantries, morale events, and more — and we're just getting started.
