Our mission is to promote dominant U.S. Air & Space Forces as the foundation of a strong National Defense; to honor and support our Airmen, Guardians, and their Families; and to remember and respect our enduring Heritage.
Afa Title Holding Company’s latest reported grant was a single $15,580,600 distribution to Air & Space Forces Association in Arlington, Virginia, marked as “LIQUIDATION OF AFA THC.” That size and the one-grant 2024 record make the funder’s recent activity especially concentrated. The foundation’s stated mission centers on U.S. Air and Space Forces: promoting them as part of national defense, honoring Airmen and Guardians and their families, and preserving enduring heritage. Its program list shows that this mission is carried through scholarships, quality-of-life support, and aerospace education rather than broad general philanthropy. The current grant programs point to a consistent service orientation. Afa Title Holding Company supports Air Force and Space Force members, military families, JROTC units, Civil Air Patrol cadets, and scholarship recipients pursuing STEM or master’s degrees. The foundation also uses chapter-based and installation-level grants to address practical needs such as childcare, healthcare, housing, and local family support. That mix shows a funder built around Air and Space Force communities, with both direct aid and education-related support embedded in its giving model.
Afa Title Holding Company’s grant programs cluster around military family support and aerospace education. One example is the Dr. Sydell Perlmutter Gold Memorial Scholarship, a renewable scholarship that provides $5,000 annually, up to $20,000 total, to daughters of Air Force or Space Force members pursuing a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field. In family quality-of-life work, the foundation runs AFA Quality of Life Grants for Chapters, a pilot launched in 2023 that funds immediate solutions for Airmen, Guardians, and their families. It also offers United Forces & Families Quality of Life grants to chapter leaders, volunteer leaders, and local partners for local initiatives. A third strand is classroom and cadet support. Grants for JROTC Units provide $500 to advance aerospace education in the classroom, while Grants for Civil Air Patrol Units provide $250 for aerospace education, STEM initiatives, cadet outreach, and related activities.
The grant-size profile is singular in the data: p25, median, and p75 are all $15,580,600. That reflects the 2024 record of one reported grant, rather than a spread across many award sizes. The foundation is organized as a title holding company, and the available record shows no program-related investments and no support for individuals. Its active programs do, however, show recurring structures for making grants: scholarship awards, chapter-administered pilots, installation-level quality-of-life grants, and unit-based education grants. Several of those programs accept unsolicited applications, while the Focus Grants under United Forces & Families are by invitation only. The recent record itself does not show repeat recipients across years.
