Private
Organizations . . .
A Private
Organization is a self-sustaining special interest group, set up by
people acting exclusively outside the scope of any official capacity
as officers, employees, or agents of the Federal Government. They
are not NAF Instrumentalities (NAFIs) or entitled to the sovereign
immunities and privileges given to NAFIs or the Air Force. They
operate on Air Force installations with the written consent of the
installation commander (
Private Organization (PO) Program).

Special Morale &
Welfare Funds . . .
Special Morale, Welfare and
Recreation (SM&W) Funds According to
AFI 34-201, Use of Nonappropriated Funds (NAFS), Chapter 12,
SM&W Funds are NAF expenditures considered necessary to contribute
to the overall morale and welfare of the military community.
Expenditures must be conservative, be in the best interest of the
Air Force, benefit the military community, and may not be limited to
specific grades or levels of personnel. Commanders and
delegated approval authority will not expend funds for SM&W purposes
if funds are authorized elsewhere stated in
AFI 34-201 or authorized from APF (AFI
65-603). SM&W Funds CAN be used for the following functions:
Change of Command ceremonies, icebreakers, protocol supplies, wing
monthly inductions, the Right Start program, and paid meals for
Quarterly Award winners and their spouses. SM&W Funds CANNOT
be used for retirements or promotions. For a detailed list of
permissible and prohibited expenditures, please see
AFI 34-201, Use of Nonappropriated Funds (NAFS), Chapter
12, para 12.4, 12.5, and Table 12.1.
What are
Picnic Funds? Picnic Funds are
used for squadron events, e.g. large holiday events or picnics.
Everyone within the squadron must be invited to the event. The Wing
will fund $2.00 per person in the squadron. Funds may purchase
items, except for prizes. Examples of items that can be purchased
include: food, beverages, beer, paper products, and rental
equipment, i.e. outdoor grill.
Are SM&W Funds
the same as Picnic Funds? No. SM&W
Funds and Picnic Funds come from the same source, the Wing, but are
two different pots of money. Prior to requesting funds, ensure the
type of event your organization is holding.
How can my
organization request SM&W Funds.
