members.
b. Exclusions. There will be no direct financial assistance to a private
organization from a nonappropriated fund instrumentality in the form of
contributions, repairs, services, dividends, or other donations of money or
other assets. In conformance with DoD Directive 1015.1, nonappropriated
fund instrumentality funds or assets will not be directly or indirectly
transferred to private organizations. No support or assistance can be
provided to organizations that compete with resources and services
commercially available in the public domain (except as provided in
subpar.d(1) through d(5)); for expenditures the Congress has not
authorized; to confer an explicit or apparent benefit, favor or endorsement
upon any entity; or to benefit or favor Department of the Navy (DON)
personnel. DON installations and activities cannot provide support that
should be hired or leased, or provided by a sponsoring organization or
locality, such as security, transportation, medical and other logistical
support. Finally, the extent of support rendered single-Service affiliated
organizations should be the same as support normally offered other
organizations and events.
c. Authorized Support for Private Organizations. DoD Components may
provide logistical support to private organizations with appropriated
Federal Government resources in accordance with DoD 5500.7-R (Joint
Ethics Regulation).
d. Special Cases. This policy does not apply to the following
organizations, which are governed by specific DoD Directives and
Instructions as referenced:
(1) Scouting Organizations Operating At U.S. Military Installations
Located Overseas (DoD Instruction 1015.9). The Boy Scouts of
America and the Girl Scouts of America are organizations chartered by
the Federal Government and are recognized as important adjuncts to
the overall requirements for accommodating and supporting DoD
personnel and their families assigned to overseas areas. Any
appropriated fund (APF) and nonappropriated fund (NAF) support
provided will be programmed and approved on an annual basis by the
DoD Components. APF support may be used to provide the following
services to overseas scouting organizations on a non-reimbursable
basis: transportation of personnel, office space, warehousing, utilities,
and means of communication. NAF support may be used in
conjunction with these overseas scouting organizations to provide
support authorized for youth activities programs, to reimburse scouting
organizations for salaries and benefits of employees in direct support
of DoD personnel and their families and to reimburse travel to and
from official meetings of the overseas scouting committee.
