Overview A Soldier and Family Readiness Group (SFRG) is a command-sponsored organization created to foster a climate of mutual support within the unit. SFRG goals include supporting the military mission through provision of support, outreach, and information to family members. In accordance with Army Directive 2019-17, "The primary goals and expectations of SFRGs are to) act as an extension of the unit command in providing official and accurate command information to Soldiers and their Families) connect Soldiers and Families to the chain of command and provide support between the command and SFRG members) connect SFRG members to available on- and off-post community resources, and) offer a network of mutual support." C. Fundraising 1. Establishment of an SFRG Fund SFRG mission-essential activities are supported using a unit’s appropriated funds (APF). Therefore, SFRG mission-essential activities may not be augmented with private money, and any such augmentation may violate the Anti-Deficiency Act. Army Regulation 608-1, paragraph J-7a, allows commanders to authorize their SFRG to maintain one informal fund in accordance with AR 600-20. Informal funds are private funds generated by SFRG members that are used to benefit the SFRG membership as a whole. Currently an informal fund may not exceed more than $10,000 in annual gross receipts during a calendar year with limited exceptions that maybe granted by Brigade Commanders. For instructions on how to handle a situation where your SFRG exceeds the $10,000 cap, commanders should consult their servicing judge advocate or ethics counselor. The SFRG informal fund must have a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) memorializing the SFRG members determination of the purpose of the SFRG informal fund.
