AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION

 At the National Council Meeting in Canberra on 12 May 2021, the AFA Board approved the establishment of an Air Force Association Foundation.  The aim of the Foundation is to provide assistance to all RAAFA members wherever as well as other ADF Veterans in particular need.

A professional organisation based in Melbourne have produced a blue print and will shortly proceed to provide a plan for seeking sponsors to donate to the cause.  The AFA Lawyers  have been asked to draw up a Trust Deed and by the end of the year we hope to have the Foundation established and operational.  As the project is developed you will be kept informed.  It is an exciting proposal and one with a huge potential for member benefit.
