MEMORANDUM FOR ALL STAFF AND TENANT ORGANIZATIONS

FROM: 72 ABW/CC
          7460 Arnold St Suite 234
          Tinker AFB OK 73145-9005

SUBJECT: Locally Approved Installation Fundraising

I have been concerned that on-base fundraising has gotten out of hand and see a need to ensure that each of you become aware of my fundraising approval perspective, as well as the fundraising requirements set forth in AFI 36-3101 and additional guidance in AFI 34-223 and the Joint Ethics Regulation (DoD 5500.78-R). Commanders and supervisors cannot have any official involvement in their organization’s booster groups. However, you do have territorial responsibility and authority over personnel and activities in areas for which your organization has responsibility and must ensure fundraising activities have the prior approval of 72 MSG/SVF, including restriction of solicitation to personnel of the organization supported by the booster group. You cannot authorize the use of government supplies or equipment in connection with fundraising activities, including government paid for communications systems (email, BITS, Fax and telephone.) Attached is a paper setting forth an overview of approval parameters for provision to your organizational booster clubs and groups. Questions should be addressed to 72 MSG/SVF, Susan Craig or Debra Kirby, at 734-5128.                     

ROY CLELAND, Colonel, USAF Commander
