UNITE is here to provide squadron leaders with the maximum flexibility to deliver programs that build cohesion for personnel within their unit. This includes assigned Active Duty, and both APF and NAF Civilians.
We can help you with funding for your UNITE events. Events must be recreational and will be subsidized up to $13.50 per person. Currently, we can pay for food and beverages up to $5 per person attending. *Beverages do not include alcohol. Our support can only go towards unit cohesion events.
"Overarching feedback is that members want more events! The Unite funding continues to significantly offset costs for morale events. It has proven especially vital during the pandemic and periods of lock down with noted impacts to our member’s morale. Having the Unite funding has enabled us to build resilience as a unit and it also gives leadership a tangible way to thank the men and women for all their hard work, dedication and sacrifice." - CMSgt Brown MXG

Sharing Metrics from an Event
Ready to Execute (RTE):
FSS related events should be considered first as they are pre-approved, easy to implement and keep funds on the installation.
Unit Developed Events (UDE):
Squadron leaders are given the discretion to create UDPs that capitalize on opportunities available in the local area. UDPs require prior approval through the Air Force Services Activity (AFSVA) and may take up to 30 days.
Volunteer:
Charitable work provides a cost-effective team building activity that allows co-workers to see each other in a new light and can make a significant impact in your community. Free events do not need approval, but we still need to capture the information.
