• Civil Air Patrol Unit Grants

AFA has long supported the Civil Air Patrol, the official Auxiliary of the United States Air Force.  The missions of both organizations include the need to educate the general public about the importance of aerospace power, both now and in the future.  STEM education initiatives are paramount in fulfilling this mission, and both the AFA and CAP provide a multitude of K-12 STEM opportunities for young people.
