Commercial sponsorship is defined as "the act of providing assistance, funding, goods, equipment (including fixed assets), or services to an MWR program(s) event(s) by an individual, agency, association, company or corporation, or other entity (sponsor) for a specific (limited) period of time in return for public recognition or advertising promotions."  DoD maintains rules and regulations on the period of time a commercial sponsorship may exist, as well as the manner in which any funds, goods, or equipment can be used.  Enclosure 9 of DoD Instruction 1015.10, "Programs for Military Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR)," 3 November 1995 certified as current May 6, 2011 provides DoD policies concerning commercial sponsorship.  Civilian service providers interested in entering into a commercial sponsorship agreement with an MWR program should contact the local installation for further information.
