Jack Kucera ‘78 President & CEO Chairman of the Board 3 4 GIVING HIGHLIGHTS The United States Air Force Academy Endowment is focused on its singular mission to provide transformative philanthropic support to the U.S. Air Force Academy. During the Endowment’s first decade, private donors have supported that mission with more than $141 million. During 2017, graduates, families and friends provided more than $17 million in support of a wide range of programs at the Academy. The stories, graphs and statistics in this annual report provide an overview of the impact of your support. For each of the 4,000 cadets, there is a story of how a donor-supported program has made a difference. Whether it involves cultural immersion trips to better understand how to navigate a global society or scholarships to attend graduate school, each gift has the potential to influence a cadet’s future success. We offer sincere thanks to all 7,314 donors who answered the call to support those who are called to serve. Because we celebrated our 10th anniversary in 2017, we wanted to highlight a broad range of 10 gifts to illustrate the types of impact donors can have on the Academy. Gifts from individuals, corporations and foundations over the past year have expanded excellence in all areas of campus: academics, athletics, character and leadership and military training. These enhanced experiences help to develop the best leaders of character for the U.S. Air Force and the nation. 5 cumulative gifts and commitments $141.79 All dollar amounts in millions. $124.61 $110.23 Total $93.82 $78.15 $141.79 $62.88 million 2007-2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Gifts by Purpose (Cumulative) Private gifts and commitments of $141.79 million to the USAFA Endowment since 7,314 $1.35 million its inception in 2007 were designated people contributed to the was given by graduates in to the following purposes: Air Force Academy support of their class reunion Academic Support giving projects $14.83 million – 10.5% Athletic Support 1,010 $29.78 million – 21% people made first-time gifts in 2017 $300,000 was raised from graduates Character and Leadership $38.34 million – 27% during the 2017 All-Academy $2.3 million Challenge Heritage $5.02 million – 3.5% was contributed to the Air Force Academy Fund Operational Support $33,335 $24.67 million – 17.4% was received during the Unrestricted Support 1,230 annual #GivingTuesday event $7.22 million – 5.1% Sabre Society and 54th Squadron Other Institutional Support donors gave annual gifts of $21.93 million – 15.5% $1,000 or more 6 Donors by level (cash received) This table shows the number of donors who made cash contributions to the Air Force Academy through the USAFA Endowment at various giving levels during 2017.

BGen Kristin Goodwin, ’93, Commandant of Cadets Remarks: General Goodwin updated the CAS on what she has been doing since she took command last August, which largely consisted in establishing her priorities with regard to the culture at the Academy. She has three main priorities, which are People, Mission, and Pride. See her slides in Attachment II. One of her themes that applies to cadets, staff, and all the agencies that support the mission of the Academy is “Don’t Walk Past a Problem.” Gen Goodwin emphasized accountability is needed in the Cadet Wing and the permanent party. When asked what the Academy was doing with regard to the pilot shortage across the Air Force, she explained it is a complex issue made up of many parts. The minutes cannot accurately reflect her answer – we do not take notes that fast! [Sorry] When asked about the demographics of the AOCs, she relayed that the 40 AOCs are a sampling of as many AFSCs as possible.
