JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
A new policy is in effect for government systems when it come to off-base fundraising events. Per Air Force Instruction 34-223, paragraph 11.1.3, which became effective Nov. 30, 2010, government systems can no longer be used to promote off-base fundraising events and the solicitation of volunteers for off-base fundraising events. Official emails, mail, computers, copiers, BITS, etc., are prohibited sources for publicizing unofficial activities and for recruiting volunteers for unofficial activities. The only authorized notification means for these types of events are through the daily bulletin boards and or electronic folders on Air Force installations if approved by the installation commander.
While this change may make it more difficult to get the message out on community projects, the new change should not inhibit your community spirit or ability to deliver on promises to the community. The Air Force always has been and always will be a community partner.
