Purpose, in the publication’s words

Commanders and directors of installations and subordinate or tenant units may establish collaborative relationships with nonprofit entities eligible for recognition as LSFs. Typically, LSFs are local, though they may occasionally be national or regional nonprofit organizations, dedicated primarily to supporting a DAF unit, activity, or program. It is required for LSFs to seek recognition from the installation commander as a Private Organization, as stipulated in this instruction.

Summary of changes, as printed

This document has been rewritten and should be completely reviewed. Changes include updating references, renumbering the publication number from former AFI 34-223, including USSF organizations and terminology, and restructuring the publication as a DAFI. These changes also introduce the private organization model for recognizing a Local Supporting Foundation (LSF) that provides dedicated support to a Local Supported Unit (LSU) of the DAF. The LSF concept is addressed in new Chapter 8 and the changes at Attachment 2 also provide a template memorandum of understanding (MOU) for installation use when establishing roles and responsibilities between the DAF and LSF for support to an LSU. 1.
