ABOUT This facility
The UNITE Program was established in August 2018 by the Air Force Services Center (AFSVC) to provide Squadron Commanders with the maximum flexibility to deliver recreational programs that build unit cohesion among personnel. The UNITE Team provides the necessary information, tools, and funding to execute recreational focused UNITE events that facilitate unit cohesion and help revitalize squadrons. This includes assigned active duty, Reserve, Guard, and APF/NAF Civilians/ Local Nationals.
Unofficial Activities (UAs)
Small unofficial activities include coffee funds, flower funds, sunshine funds, and other small operations are generally not considered official private organizations. However, if their current assets (which include cash, inventories, receivables, and investments) exceed a monthly average rate of $1,000 over a 3-month period, the activity/organization must become a PO, discontinue on-base operations, or reduce its current assets below the $1,000 threshold.
Official Private Organizations (POs)
While unofficial activity organizations are required to become a registered official private organization administrator once the $1,000 threshold is met, they do have the option to become a PO beforehand, if they wish.
Fundraising
AFI 34-223, Private Organizations Program, Attachment 1, defines ‘For Us, By Us’ fundraising. It includes activities wherein organizations composed primarily of DoD employees or their dependents fundraise among their own members for the benefit of welfare funds for their own members or their dependents.
