QUESTION: How is AER emergency financial assistance provided?

An interest free loan, normally repaid over 12-24 months;
An outright grant when repayment would cause hardship; or,
A combination interest free loan and grant when repayment of the full amount of
3
assistance would cause hardship.
In all cases the form of assistance is determined by the Soldier’s individual circumstances.
QUESTION: Why is AER referred to as “Soldiers helping Soldiers”?
ANSWER: AER is the only organization dedicated solely to helping Soldiers and their Families
in time of emergency financial need. Assistance provided by AER is funded in large part by
fellow Soldiers who are either repaying their AER assistance loans so AER can redistribute
funds to other Soldiers in need or by Soldiers making donations to help meet the needs of their
fellow Soldiers.
QUESTION: What is AER’s record of assistance for the past year?
ANSWER: In 2012 AER provided $76.8 million dollars in assistance to more than 59,000
Soldiers and their Families.
QUESTON: What are the categories for assistance?
ANSWER: To better meet the needs of our Soldiers, AER continually solicits input from the field
and adds new categories as needs change. Exceptions to policy can be granted if there is a
valid need in a non-designated category. Currently, the following categories are available for
assistance:
 Non-receipt of pay
 Loss of funds
 Medical expenses

QUESTION: Where can I get more information on AER’s Scholarship Programs?
ANSWER: Full AER scholarship information is available from local AER Officers, directly from
National Headquarters AER and from the AER website: www.aerhq.org.
Annual Campaign:
QUESTION: Why does the Army have an Annual AER Campaign?
ANSWER: The Army and AER conduct an Annual Campaign for several reasons:
 To continually increase the awareness of all Soldiers, active and retired, and their
Families -- including spouses and orphans of deceased Army members about AER’s
programs, benefits, and how to obtain assistance if the need arises.
 Inform Soldiers how their fund operates and their contributions result in Soldiers helping
Soldiers.
 Provide an opportunity for all Soldiers to "Help the Army Take Care of its Own" by
contributing to AER.
QUESTION: Is AER part of the Annual CFC Campaign?
ANSWER: AER is not a part of the CFC Campaign. Because AER is the Army's own
6
organization and the important role AER has in supporting Soldiers and their Families, the Army
conducts a separate AER campaign. AER Annual Fund Campaign is the only time each year
Soldiers are asked to help their own organization and their fellow Soldiers.
QUESTION: Does AER only solicit Soldiers during its Annual Campaign?
ANSWER: AER solicits donations only from Soldiers, active and retired because those are the
beneficiaries of AER assistance. However, AER does gratefully accept unsolicited donations
from the general public from those who find AER is an acceptable way to support Soldiers and
their Families.
QUESTION: Why should I contribute to AER?
ANSWER: Your contributions allow AER to fulfill its mission of helping Soldiers in time of
distress and misfortune. Contributions help assure continued availability of AER funds to meet
the increasing assistance needs for soldiers. Through your contribution you are helping carry
on the tradition of Soldiers helping Soldiers in time of need.
QUESTION: How can one contribute to the AER Campaign?
ANSWER: Contributions may be by allotment, cash, check or on-line with a credit card via our
website, www.aerhq.org. Soldiers who chose to contribute by allotment can spread their
donation out over time, up to 12 months.
QUESTION: How successful is the Annual Campaign?
ANSWER: Last year the Annual Campaign raised $9.1 million from donations by Soldiers, both
active and retired.
AER Operations
QUESTION: How is AER funded to sustain its programs?
ANSWER: AER funding comes from several sources:
 The Annual Campaign.
 Repayment of AER loans.
 Unsolicited contributions from members of the general public.
 Investment income from funds currently not in demand for assistance.
QUESTION: How much of every dollar spent by AER is actually used for assistance to Soldiers
7
and their Families?
ANSWER: In 2012; nearly 88 cents of every dollar spent by AER was spent on assistance
programs, 9.8 cents went to payroll and other administrative costs and the remaining 2.5 cents
went to cover fund raising expenses.
