Private Organizations
What is a Private Organization?
Private Organizations are self-sustaining, special interest groups set up by people acting exclusively outside the scope of any official capacity as officers, employees or agents of the federal government. They operate on Air Force installations with the written consent of the installation Commander (AFI 34-223 Section A.1.).
Private Organizations are not Federal entities and are not to be treated as such. Accordingly, they are not NAF instrumentalities (NAFIs) as defined in AFI 34-201, Use of Non-Appropriated Funds, nor are they entitled to the sovereign immunities and privileges given to NAFIs or the Air Force (AFI 34-223 Section A.1. 1.1).
Unofficial activities/organizations are small groups that are not required to be formally established as Private Organizations because their current assets (including cash, investments, inventory and receivables) do not exceed a monthly average of $1,000 over a 3-month period (AFI 34-223 Section 2. 2.2.).
Examples of a Private Organization include:
-
Squadron Booster Clubs
-
Unit Advisory Committees
-
Spouse Clubs
