INSTRUCTIONS

1. Appropriate coordination and approval are required for all fundraising requests. Proper coordination procedures are listed below. Please route the request accordingly to ensure the proper agencies have reviewed your request. You may not conduct or advertise your fundraising event prior to final approval.

2. All fundraising activities must begin with 42 FSS/FSR. Fundraising is governed by AFI 36-3101 and AFI 34-223.

3. Air Force members must not do anything that implies Federal endorsement of a fundraising event and may not actively participate in fundraising while on duty, in uniform, or while at the workplace. All DoD members who participate in this event must do so with the clear understanding that they may only do so in their capacity as individuals. Civilian employees, like military members, are subject to the requirements of AFI 36-3101 and the Joint Ethics Regulation (JER).

4. Fundraisers are to be conducted away from the workplace in a non-administrative area. The installation commander defines “workplace” areas. The AFI provides examples of “workplace” areas (offices, hangars, flight line) and areas not considered to be the “workplace” (base quarters, entrances, lobbies or concourses of buildings, schools, chapels, break rooms).

5. A fundraiser may not consist of frequent/continuous resale activities or compete with AAFES or FSS affiliated activities. Occasional sales, however, are permitted. “Occasional” has been defined as not more than two (2) events per calendar quarter.

6. Private organizations and unofficial activities/organizations may not sell or serve alcoholic beverages.

7. Door-to-door solicitation is largely prohibited in military housing areas. This prohibition exists to protect the security of the installation, avoid high-pressure sales techniques, and provide military personnel and their families a peaceful living environment free from unwanted intrusions. As such, access to military housing for door-to-door solicitation is and will be highly restricted.

8. Government email may not be used in furtherance of this fundraiser. For example, an organization may not use mass-email messages sent from government computers to advertise the fundraising event.

9. Solicitation of DoD personnel junior in rank, grade, or position is prohibited.
