Under what condition is it acceptable to raise funds at work for your off-duty organization?

Raising funds while at work for an off-duty organization is acceptable when done in a personal capacity without soliciting subordinates. This means that if you are participating in fundraising activities, it should be clear that you are doing so as an individual rather than in an official military capacity or as part of your duties. This condition helps maintain professionalism and ensures that there is no coercion or pressure placed on subordinates to donate, which could create conflicts of interest or perceived favoritism within the command structure. Adhering to this guideline reflects a commitment to maintaining ethical standards and respecting the separation between personal and professional undertakings while on duty.

Other options suggest scenarios that could lead to potential issues, such as soliciting donations from subordinates, which is typically discouraged, or requiring supervisor approval, which is usually not necessary unless there are specific guidelines in place. Fundraising after work hours does not necessarily follow the guidelines either, as it may still involve work relationships that could pressure individuals into donating.
