Can a PCFO hold a fundraiser where part of the cost goes to the base cost and the remainder to the CFC (i.e. a golf tournament where the entry fee is $50 with $30 to base cost of the event and $20 to CFC)?
5 CFR 950.602 states, ". . . in all approved fundraising events the
donor must have the option of designating to a specific participating
organization or federation or be advised that the donation will be
counted as an undesignated contribution and distributed according to
these regulations." Therefore, the PCFO must notify the participant of
the amount of the fee that will be considered a one-time charitable
contribution to the CFC and that the contribution will be an
undesignated contribution unless the PCFO decides to allow donors to
complete a pledge form with a designation to a participating CFC
charity.
