About The Foundation
Air Academy Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) established the Air Academy Federal Credit Union Foundation on June 12, 2002, to promote financial education and wellness within the community. In the spirit of the credit union philosophy of "People Helping People," the Foundation provides free financial education classes and resources through our Financial Wellness Center and MoneyEDU. The Foundation seeks opportunities to support educators and community programs through seminars, grants, and will soon launch its very own scholarship program.
The Air Academy Federal Credit Union Foundation is managed by a volunteer board consisting of credit union employees and credit union board of director members. The Foundation board meets every six months, and the credit union employees are responsible for the Foundation's operations.
Our Mission
Promote education and life-long financial responsibility for people of all ages.

Armed Forces Financial Guide
The Air Academy Federal Credit Union Foundation is proud to offer the Armed Forces Financial Guide as a resource to our military families. The Armed Force Financial guide is a one-stop shop that explains the language of personal finance and provides service members with the appropriate resources and advice to make sound decisions. With a better understanding of personal finance and of your own goals, you'll be better prepared to access and utilize the many resources and unique benefits a military career provides. Building wealth and securing long-term financial freedom while serving our country is possible!
The Armed Forces Financial Guide covers topics, such as:
- financial basics
- pay and entitlements
- family
- transition/retirement/separation
- and service-related benefits.
Regardless of your rank, responsibilities, goals, or net worth, there is something here for you!
