DONATIONS
People who share their hard earned resources with those less fortunate are the backbone of our American society. We’d like to thank all those who have faithfully supported and encouraged our efforts over the years to provide a home to the “The Forgotten Veteran-The Air Force Enlisted Widow.” Through the vision and leadership of our CEO and President Jim Binnicker CMSAF #9, we have a variety of ways you can contribute in an easy manner. You can use our secure connection to set up a onetime donation or a monthly amount through bank draft, credit card or military payroll allotment. You can also download and print the forms to mail or fax to our office. 
You can also call and request a form to be sent in the mail, whatever method is easiest for you. As Chief Binnicker explained, “The allotment is painless- didn’t see it-didn’t miss it.” The monthly allotment gives us a tremendous planning advantage by enabling us to have a steady stream of donations with a known amount.

Matching Gifts from Workplace Donations
Air Force Enlisted Village supporters may have the chance to multiply the value of their gifts. Many businesses, from large corporations to regional companies, have matching gift programs set up to encourage their employees to donate money to charities and public service organizations. Even retired employees are often eligible to participate in their former employer's matching
gift programs. One faithful supporter, William Wood, has been contributing through the General Electric program since February 2005. His donations, totaling $600, since March 2006 have been matched dollar for dollar by G.E. and are greatly appreciated.
The typical matching gift program is set up so that a company or corporation gives the same amount of money its employee gave to the same charity. The Air Force Enlisted Village is eligible for many matching gift programs. To participate, simply Check with your Human Resources Department to see if your company has a matching gift program. If we are not listed or offered as a choice at your company, please take the following information to your matching gifts coordinator. Ask them to consider adding the Air Force Enlisted Village, Inc. as a charitable organization to receive matching funds. They will need the following information: Air Force Enlisted Village, Inc is a non-profit corporation which is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt under section 501 (c) (3) and to which contributions are tax deductible. Our mission is to provide a safe and loving environment to widows of career enlisted members of the Air Force for their senior years. Our primary focus is the indigent widow who would be unable to obtain housing with their personal retirement resources. We have two independent living campuses and a new assisted living residence. Our website, has all our financial records for the previous fiscal year in our annual report.
Matching gifts are an easy way to increase your giving to the Air Force Enlisted Village
without taking another dollar out of your pocket. Matching gift forms are quick and easy to
fill out, and they can benefit the AFEV and help you become a better steward of your gifts.
