Prospect Research Analyst I United States Air Force Academy
Prospect Research Analyst I United States Air Force Academy Endowment 3116 Academy Drive Suite 200 USAF Academy, CO 80840 USAFA Endowment We believe strongly, as many do, that the United States Air Force Academy is a vital national resource -one that is deserving of our emotional and financial support. Increasingly, though, the resources available to the service academies, like all public institutions, are inadequate to keep pace with the requirements of a modern university of exemplary quality. No longer can the Academy depend solely on public funding to attract the best minds and provide the best educational experience. The Air Force Academy, like all other great public universities, now requires significant private support to maintain its status as an elite institution. This is why graduates, parents, and friends of the Academy are standing up to do what they can to ensure the Academy has the resources it needs to excel. All staff members of the United States Air Force Academy Endowment work to make the act of giving to the Academy as personally fulfilling and efficient as possible for every donor as part of our commitment to our donors.
