Chapel Tithes and offerings funds are a form of which funds?

• A. Nonappropriated Funds
• B. Appropriated Funds
• C. APFs
• D. CTOF

Answer: (A)

Chapel tithes and offerings are funds generated locally to support religious programs and chaplain services on the installation, not money allocated by Congress. This type of funding stays within the installation and is used to provide morale, welfare, and religious support to service members, which is the hallmark of nonappropriated funds. Appropriated funds come from the federal budget and cover official government operations, salaries, and base expenses, not voluntary chapel contributions. APFs refers to those appropriated funds, so they don’t fit. CTOF isn’t the standard funding category used to describe these internal religious program funds. So the funds in question are nonappropriated funds.
