Why does the AOG need private support?
The AOG is a private, not-for-profit Colorado corporation funded by private donations, dues and service fees. The ability of the AOG to serve the Academy and the graduate community is dependent upon the generosity of graduates, parents and others who love the Academy. Contrary to popular belief, the United States Air Force Academy doesn’t receive all the federal funding it would like to have. Federal support is limited. The Air Force and government provide adequate funding to the Academy for the core programs – the baseline requirements needed to earn a bachelor of science degree and a commission as second lieutenant. Private funding from graduates, parents and friends of the Academy is crucial to maintaining the excellence of the Air Force Academy experience and for building leaders of character for the nation. By supporting the AOG, you help the AOG fulfill its mission. Learn about current AOG giving initiatives Support these initiatives today!
