Mission Statement

The Unit Foundation (TUF), in alignment with validated Unit requirements, supports the needs of the Unit and its people – Gold Stars, Unit and Veteran Unit Members, and families – that are not addressed by existing programs and resources.

CULTURE STATEMENT

Balanced and professional, we serve with compassion, humility, and objectivity, while honoring the goodwill and generosity of others through transparent and responsible resource stewardship.

CORE VALUES

• Trust – We earn trust every day through integrity, transparency, and accountability in all we do.
• Adaptability – We remain flexible and responsive in the spirit of, and in concert with, the Unit’s design.
• Compassion with Objectivity – We lead with compassion and act with discernment, providing meaningful support to the Unit community.

• Relationships – Support and foster relationships that make the Unit more effective by addressing needs that fall outside the scope of DoD-funded programs or other benevolent organizations.
• Operational Readiness and Resiliency – Support events and programs that foster long-term health and deliver timely, individualized crisis response support for the Unit family.
