This Program provides tangible comfort to the families of Service Members dealing with a recent loss.

The foundation’s Bereavement Program helps to augment funeral costs and travel arrangements for military families in times of mourning. In an attempt to help cope with a family’s loss, the AFF offers family retreats and provides for professional grief counseling.

The program offers a wide range of support for families in need. Assisting with estate settlement and investment planning services are additional forms of assistance offered by the foundation. In addition, scholarships for spouses as well as children are available through the Foundations Yellow Ribbon Scholarship Fund.

Since its creation, the program has assisted many families with bereavement related expenses. Whether covering the cost of a funeral procession, hotel costs, receptions, flower arrangements, flags for burial, arranging for retreats; the foundation has maintained a promise of Serving Those Who Serve, especially in trying times.

In 2007, President George W. Bush presented the Medal of Honor to the parents of Corporal Jason Dunham at a White House ceremony. Corporal Dunham lost his life in combat while serving our nation and the AFF was proud to lend support to his family. The AFF was honored to provide $5,000 to cover hotel costs for all family and friends who traveled from Scio, NY to Washington, DC for the presentation.

When soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice for our country, their loved ones are left with the task of accommodating the proper arrangements deserving of the individual. The AFF is honored to help families cope in these times of mourning, and offers its services unconditionally.
