The Single Marine Program wants to conduct a fund raising event and donate money for the victims of the recent Osprey crash. Can this be done or if not can the policy be waived?
No, it can’t be done and MR can’t waive this policy. Donating NAF money to charities is specifically prohibited by DoD policy (DoDI 1000.15 and DoDD 1015.1). Marines as private individuals may form a private organization to raise money for the families though. MCCS can’t do the fundraising for them or make any donations. There are specific guidelines for fundraising in paragraph 1405 of the MCCS Policy Manual; the Joint Ethics Regulation (DoD 5500-7-R), paragraph 3-201; and the Navy Public Affairs Manual (Chapter 4 on Community Relations).
