Which fund type is defined as cash and other assets from sources other than Congress?

• A. Appropriated Funds
• B. APFs
• C. Chapel Tithes
• D. Nonappropriated Funds

Answer: (D)

Nonappropriated funds are cash and other assets generated by activities that operate outside of congressional appropriation. In the Army, these funds come from sources like fees for services, admissions, sales from clubs and facilities, and donations, and they support Morale, Welfare, and Recreation programs and related base services. Because they originate from non-federal sources, they are not part of the federal budget and do not require congressional appropriations.

Appropriated funds, by contrast, come from Congress and fund official operating costs, personnel, facilities, and programs that are part of the approved federal budget. Chapel tithes aren’t a formal, recognized fund category in this context, so they don’t fit the standard definitions used for government funding types.

So, the fund type defined by cash and other assets from sources other than Congress is nonappropriated funds.
