More about this organization
Mission
Army Emergency Relief (AER) was organized as a private nonprofit organization in February 1942 to provide emergency financial assistance to U.S. Army Soldiers (both active duty and retirees) and their eligible family members.
About
In 2018, AER provided Emergency Financial Assistance to 36,338 Soldiers and their families by providing $58.6 million dollars in financial assistance in the form of zero-interest loans and grants. AER determines the breakdown of assistance between loan and grant by the individual's valid financial need. Financial assistance is offered across 30 different categories of assistance often associated with an emergency due to death or serious illness of an immediate family member or basic living expenses. AER provided 4,908 grants that averaged $1,683 per request, or $7.9 million dollars. Of these grants, AER provided $253K in aid to Regular Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve Soldiers to assist with evacuation and relief efforts for natural disasters such as California wildfires, Alaska earthquake, Hurricanes Florence and Michael, and Typhoon Yutu. Through the Army Wounded Warrior (Aw2) Special Access program established in 2012, AER assisted 689 Wounded Warriors by providing 343 assistance grants totaling $984K. AER approved 31,431 zero interest loans, with an average of $1,603 per request, totaling $50.7 million. Of that, $28 million for basic living expenses for items such as food, rent depsoits, and minor home repairs.
