Thank you for your interest in Legacy support for the Air Force Academy. Such donor commitments, made after taking care of the needs of their families and loved ones, will help the Academy prepare future leaders of character for the Air Force and our nation. In addition to the satisfaction you'll feel by helping USAFA, you and your estate may realize benefits, including tax advantages, from certain types of gift plans.
We believe strongly that our Academy is a vital national resource — one that is deserving of our emotional and financial support. Private donations allow the Academy to expand the excellence of its programs, which allows it to attract and train the finest leaders for the future.
“I’m pleased to do this as my legacy and as a tribute to my son.” — Jim Shumate ’79
Getting Started
There are many planned gifts that won’t affect your existing financial resources, but will have a significant impact on the Air Force Academy. Give to the institution you care so much about, while maintaining control and flexibility.
Make a Gift Through Your Will
A bequest is a gift provision in your will or revocable living trust. All assets, including cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property, may be transferred to the USAFA Endowment at the end of your life.
The Ideal Gift for You?
When determining the right gift option, it’s vital to first decide your most important personal and family goal. This could range from maximizing tax benefits to preserving assets for your heirs.
