Microlearning Title Understanding NAF and NAFI: A Guide to MWR Financial Structure

Synopsis

Join the MWR Academy's "Alphabet Soup" series to decode NAF and NAFI, the essential financial forces behind MWR programs. This video clearly defines Nonappropriated Funds (NAF), explaining their origin as "soldier dollars" and the fiduciary responsibilities required to manage them.

You'll also learn about the Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI), the organizational framework that acts as the custodian for these funds. The video explains how NAFIs are managed as "fenced funds"—tax-exempt and designated for specific services like lodging, chapels, and post restaurants—ensuring that each entity minds its own money. Discover how this critical financial pairing works together to support the entire MWR system.
