About Air Force Villages Charitable Foundation
Air Force Villages Charitable Foundation was created to sustain, in perpetuity, the core charitable mission of Afv Inc. dba Blue Skies of Texas: serving widowed spouses in need and supporting the wider charitable work around that community. The largest recent grant on file went to Afv Inc. dba Blue Skies of Texas in San Antonio for $3,436,441 in 2024, followed by a $2,986,502 grant in 2023 to the same recipient. That pattern shows the foundation functioning as a sustaining source of support for the parent organization rather than as a broad, external grantmaker. Its named programs also point to the same operating model, with funds for resident assistance, employee support, scholarships, and research tied to Blue Skies of Texas and the Air Force community. The foundation’s priorities center on quality of life, healthcare, resident programs, and financial help for widowed residents, with additional support for staff and planned gifts. Leadership is listed under Lt Gen Darrell Jones.
What Air Force Villages Charitable Foundation Funds
A central theme is direct support for widowed residents. The foundation’s charitable purpose is tied to serving widowed spouses in need, and its grant history to Afv Inc. dba Blue Skies of Texas shows that mission in practice. It also funds resident-facing care and enrichment through named programs such as the Blue Skies Charitable Fund, which supports social and recreational programs, healthcare, staff training, and campus improvements. Another strand is emergency and hardship assistance: the Charity Care Fund provides financial assistance to residents in need who are not widowed, and the Covenant Fund serves qualified widowed residents who are not affiliated with the Air Force. Education is present as well, through the Mary Opal Wolanin Scholarship Fund and the Hagauer Scholarship Fund, both tied to employees and their dependents.
How Air Force Villages Charitable Foundation Gives
The foundation’s recent grant size profile is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $3,098,987, the median is $3,211,472, and the 75th percentile is $3,323,956. That narrow band fits a pattern of large, recurring support rather than many small awards. The same recipient appears in the top recent grants in both 2023 and 2024, which suggests repeat support year to year. The foundation’s structure is also clear from its programs: it supports affiliated charitable funds, resident assistance, employee funds, scholarships, and research tied to Blue Skies of Texas. The data also shows one general grant program in Texas that accepts unsolicited requests.
