What is the minimum contribution amount to AER through allotment?

The minimum contribution amount to the Army Emergency Relief (AER) through allotment is typically established as one dollar each month for a duration of three months. This structure allows service members to contribute to AER in a manageable way, ensuring that even those with tighter budgets can participate in supporting the organization's mission to provide financial assistance to Soldiers and their families in need. Contributing a dollar monthly is accessible and encourages a culture of giving within the military community.

Other amounts, while feasible in different contexts, do not meet the established criteria for minimum contributions through allotment within the AER framework. Numbers such as five dollars or ten dollars monthly represent higher levels of financial commitment, which may not be necessary for all individuals, while fifty cents monthly for six months would also not reach the standard minimum set for contributions to AER.
