CFC MEMORANDUM 2001-05

MEMORANDUM FOR PRINCIPAL COMBINED FUND ORGANIZATIONS

We are pleased to make available the 2001 Combined Federal Campaign National List.  As always, unless we notify you of any changes to the contrary, this list must be reproduced exactly in your local campaign brochure and on the Federal agency's electronic information system, if available.

List Format 

The list is being provided in Microsoft Word 7.0. Because the document containing the list is large and may cause delays on your system, we have also provided a self-extracting zip file. For information on how to extract this file to Word format, please follow the instructions on our website.

List Order

The National List consists of two types of organizations. Organizations that provide services that are either National or International in scope and those that are defined only as International in scope. National unaffiliated organizations (those that are not part of a federation) are listed in the National/International section unless they specifically noted in their 2000 CFC application that they wished to be included in the International section.  

There are minor changes to the Introduction and Preface this year. However please remember that, like last year:

• Where applicable, charities using a name other than their legal name must list their legal name in parenthesis, following the e-mail address.  The entry must also have, where applicable, the Employer Identification Number.  Keep in mind that churches and religious organizations will not have an EIN.  Also, some organizations covered under an umbrella organization'stax exemption status may not list the EIN.

• Each participating organization may only appear once in the local brochure (i.e. organizations on the National List may notalso appear on the Local List). However, listing of a national parent organization and its local affiliate is permitted, provided it is separately incorporated and has met all local eligibility criteria.
• Organizations on the National List cannot convert to the Local List, even if the national organization would otherwise qualify as a local organization.
• All lists must be compiled in a single brochure.
• The Introduction and Preface informs donors that the employer identification number is part of each listing and also includes a reference to several resource organizations that provide information about charity finances and accountability, as well as trends in giving and volunteering.

Copies of the brochure must be made available to all Federal employees.  Use of agency computer systems may not replace the availability of printed brochures.

• Index: To assist the donor in their search for an organization we encourage you to add an alphabetical index of the participating organizations in the campaign brochure either in the back or front of the brochure. When using indexes, the categories of organizations must be shown in the same order as defined by the OPM guidelines.  Small campaigns that do not print the 25-word statements are also exempt from publishing an index.

• An alphabetical index and numerical index of the National list will be available on the CFC home page this year.

• Organizations with an asterisk (*) next to their names have been found eligible even though their administrative and fundraising expenses were in excess of 25 percent of their total support and revenue.  OPM granted them waivers based upon case-by-case assessments.  The asterisk shall be explained in the brochure as follows:

*This organization has administrative and fundraising expenses above 25 percent, and is taking the steps necessary to bring these expenses below the 25 percent level

Please note that this MEMO and the list will not be mailed to PCFOs or LFCCS.  The National List will only be available on the CFC home page: www.opm.gov/cfc

If you have questions about accessing this list or any problems associated with the format, please call Valinda Dickens at 202/606-2564. She will be happy to assist you.

Best wishes for a successful campaign!
