These are coffee funds, flower funds, sunshine funds and other small operations that are generally not considered Private Organizations (PO’s).

Unofficial Activities are authorized to conduct fundraisers just like regular private organizations (two per quarter, per calendar year) and are entitled to a bank account. Groups of this nature may not exceed a monthly average of $1,000 over a three-month period. If this is the case, the activity/organization must become a PO, discontinue on-base operations, or reduce its current assets below the $1,000 threshold.

Please read the Private Organization Guide for more information.

Private organizations and unofficial activities are authorized three fundraisers per quarter, per calendar year. For example: three are allowed from Jan-Mar, three from Apr-Jun, three from Jul-Sep and three from Oct-Dec.

Please be aware that all fund raisers for full private organizations whether they are within your unit or public count against your three per quarter quota and must be approved by the Private Organization Office.

Download the forms and add all necessary information, obtain facility or building manager approval and then submit the request to 86fss.privateorgs@us.af.mil. Ensure you allow at least two weeks lead time and that you are aware that you will not be authorized to begin advertising until you request has been approved.
