Support the Airman Heritage Foundation during the 2025 Big Give
Seventy-eight years ago in September of 1947, the United States Air Force was created, establishing a proud tradition of courage, innovation, and service to our nation. Since then, Airmen and Guardians have stood ready to defend freedom with unmatched dedication and excellence.
This year as we mark the U.S. Air Force’s birthday, we invite you to honor that legacy by joining the Airman Heritage Foundation during The Big Give starting Wednesday, September 17th at 6 PM. Your gifts help us continue our work in preserving the history and heritage of enlisted Airmen and Guardians for generations to come.

Where does the money go to?
Funds raised during The Big Give go directly to the Airman Heritage Foundation’s mission of honoring the rich history and heritage of enlisted Airmen and Guardians. Funds help initiatives like our education and outreach efforts, the USAF Heritage Museum and Air Park, the Military Working Dog Teams National Monument, and the Legacy Paver Program.
Raising funds for these programs are important as they are outside of the budget parameters for the Air Force and Space Force. Read more on our Big Give page!Â
