Which aspect is not permitted by Tradition 6 in relation to A.A. groups?

Tradition 6 of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) states that A.A. groups should not endorse or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, which could include treatment programs, clinics, or other businesses. This is rooted in the principle of maintaining the integrity and autonomy of the A.A. fellowship and ensuring that the focus remains solely on the primary purpose of helping individuals achieve sobriety.

By not endorsing these related facilities, A.A. aims to avoid potential conflicts of interest and the perception that it is involved in or promoting outside enterprises, which can detract from its mission. Tradition 6 protects the organization from being seen as a commercial entity and discourages any actions that might commercialize or profit from the recovery process.

The other aspects mentioned, such as declining contributions and supporting members, are consistent with the traditions that prioritize the welfare and recovery of individuals within the group. Changing primary purposes, however, would fundamentally alter the group's mission, which is also not aligned with Tradition 6. Thus, the prohibition on endorsing related facilities is critical to maintaining the group's focus and independence.
