It would only violate the Anti-Deficiency Act if they actually use Federal money for this (and run a budget deficit). If they use private money, or if Congress appropriates money and they don’t exceed their budget, it would not violate that act.

I think they’re referring to this section:

The Antideficiency Act prohibits federal employees from:

accepting voluntary services for the United States, or employing personal services not authorized by law, except in cases of emergency involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. 31 U.S.C. § 1342.
