Welcome to the AFDICA Charitable Services

The mission of AFDICA’s Charitable Services is to raise funds to support a variety of programs to increase financial literacy and support members with local charities. The AFDICA board approved continuing support of both Jump$tart, Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy (www.jumpstart.org), a non-profit organization, which offers teachers scholarships to advance financial literacy education and the Army Scholarship Foundation (https://armyscholarshipfoundation.org/). The latter provides scholarships to children or spouses of military members to pursue higher education financial degrees. Please click on each organization for further information. Click here for additional information on the most recent awardees.
