COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- There are only two weeks left until the April 26 deadline to donate to the Air Force Assistance Fund.
The wing’s goal for this year’s campaign is to reach $30,740. Halfway through the campaign, we are at $13,163 or 42.8 percent of the goal.
“I want to thank everyone who has donated so far and I hope to see the donations continue to flow,” said Capt. Nancy Lacy, the AFAF Installation Project Officer for Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. “Let’s keep these donations coming and beat our goal.”
The AFAF is the official nonprofit, charitable organization of the Air Force. The organization provides support to Airmen and their families – active duty and retired, officers and enlisted.
The target audience for donations is Air Force personnel, including guardsmen, reservists and retirees. Unsolicited donations may also be accepted from others, including (non-retiree) civilian employees, sister service military personnel and retirees.
Contributions to the campaign are deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes as an itemized deduction.
Donors making check or money order contributions of $250 or more directly to Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center (via postal mail) will receive a signed receipt (letter) for tax purposes.
Contributors may obtain a receipt for payroll deduction or cash contributions made to an authorized AFAF campaign keyworker by asking for the receipt portion of the contributions form (AF Form 2561).
Key workers in each unit will accept donations during the campaign via payroll deductions, or through cash, check or money order.
