Can MWR sponsorship and advertising managers solicit sponsorship from AAFES or DeCA?
No. AAFES gives MWR dividends on a yearly basis which totalled over $120 million in FY05. AAFES operates under Department of the Army and Department of Defense regulations. DeCa is a government agency that is funded by Congress with appropriated funds. Neither AAFES nor DeCa are in a position to sponsor MWR programs but often times support the sponsorship and advertising program by allowing us to have displays in their stores if one of their vendors sponsors our events. In rare occasions a local AAFES or DeCa manager has provided items to MWR for a specific event. These items were promotional items that were received from their vendors. Since AAFES is bound by the same policies as MWR, their managers are not permitted to solicit for donations. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
