Which NAF category receives 50-65% appropriated fund support?

• A. Category B NAF (Community Support)
• B. Category A NAF (Mission Sustaining)
• C. Category C NAF (Revenue Generating)
• D. Not NAF

Answer: (A)

Understanding how NAF categories relate to funding helps you see why this choice fits the 50-65% appropriated fund support range. Category B, or Community Support, is designed to balance operations with government appropriations, providing essential morale, welfare, and community services through a mix of nonappropriated funds and appropriated funds. The typical funding mix for these programs sits in the 50-65% appropriated funds range, which is why this category matches the stated support level. In contrast, Category A (Mission Sustaining) focuses on sustaining mission-critical activities and often relies on a different funding mix, usually with more emphasis on appropriations for ongoing operations that directly support the mission. Category C (Revenue Generating) relies mainly on earned income and user fees with little APF backing, and Not NAF isn’t part of the nonappropriated funds framework at all.
