AFA Community Partners

Strength Through Local Partnership

Our mission is too large to accomplish alone. The AFA Community Partner program allows local businesses and organizations to join forces with the AFA to support our Airmen, Guardians, and STEM education initiatives.

Why Become a Community Partner? When your business joins as a Community Partner, you are doing more than just providing financial support; you are taking a stand for the veterans, service members, and students in our North Texas community. Your partnership directly enables:

  • STEM Excellence: Funding for CyberPatriot and StellarXplorers teams.
  • Veteran Support: Resources for the Wounded Airman Program and local VA initiatives.
  • Civic Leadership: Scholarships for JROTC cadets and Youth Leadership Conference attendees.

Partnership Benefits As a Community Partner, you receive:

  • All benefits of an AFA membership (including a subscription to Air & Space Forces Magazine)
  • Digital AFA Community Partner logo access to place on your website or on social media
  • Opportunities for brand recognition and event sponsorship in your community Community Partner plaque for display in your business
  • Window decal for signage and promotion
  • A variety of product and service discounts, insurance programs, and more!

How It Works You can become a Sam Johnson Chapter Community Partner for a modest annual contribution of $100.
