Which programs are MWR sponsorship and advertising managers authorized to sell?
Only bonafide MWR programs and events as recognized by AR215-1 may be sponsored or display advertisements and benefit from Commercial Sponsorship or Advertising. Refer to figure 3-1 MWR Programs, Section II Funding Categories in AR 215-1 for a list of MWR activities. However, the Department of Defense has permitted sponsorship for three non-MWR programs: Army Family Team Building (AFTB); Army Family Action Plan (AFAP); and Army Community Services (ACS). Note that this permission is limited to the NAF funded portion of the programs and only when the use of APFs is not authorized. Expenditures of NAF are authorized only where APF is not authorized. MWR sponsorship managers may not solicit sponsorship on behalf of private organizations; or installation events that are not conducted by MWR. For example, an MWR sponsorship manager is not allowed to seek sponsorship for private organizations such as AUSA; the Officers’ and Civilians’ Wives’ Club; Boy Scouts; or a Toastmasters Club.
