The AMF, following its creation in 1983, spent two years in researching and identifying inadequately served enlisted needs. In early 1985, the Foundation defined its scope as seeking ways and means to solve contemporary problems among all Air Force components enlisted force not being addressed by the Department of Defense, Air Staff, Congress, or the Administration.
Following this role definition, the Foundation created its first humanitarian aid, non-traditional education, and scholarship programs and thereby became the first “all-enlisted” national independent charity in the annual Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
Funding to support AMF program services is derived principally from donations to the AMF from the Air Force Sergeants Association and its members and from donors during the annual Fall CFC drive. The AMF is listed under its national charity designation number 10517, permitting Air Force personnel a way to support the AMF motto, "Taking Care of Our Own."
SCHOLARSHIP GRANTS The AMF Scholarship Program was established in 1987 to aid Air Force enlisted dependents seeking higher education, awarding scholarships annually to the unmarried dependent children of Air Force enlisted personnel. To date, AMF has awarded a total of 395 scholarships, valued at $416,000.
SCHOLARSHIP MEMORIAL FUND MANAGEMENT The Chief Master Sergeants of the Air Force (CMSAF) Scholarship Program is managed for the Office of the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force to provide annual academic/technical excellence scholarships. Since 1988, it has awarded a total of 192 scholarships worth $269,500. The fund is a result of contributions from all components of the enlisted community;
The Basic Military Training 50th Anniversary Scholarship Fund is managed for the 737th TRG Top Three Organization to commemorate achieving 50 years of Air Force basic military training. The program has offered grants annually since 1997.
