CFC BROCHURE COMPLIANCE |
We are pleased to make available the 2002
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. All
campaigns should refer to CFC Memorandum 2002-7 for additional information
on regulatory compliance.
The list is being provided on our website (www.opm.gov/cfc)
in two formats -- Microsoft Word 7.0 and Excel 7.0.
List Order
The CFC regulations require that the categories of charities be rotated annually. This year the order is 1) Local Organizations, 2) National/International
Organizations, and 3) International Organizations.
The National List provided by OPM consists of two types of organizations. Organizations that provide services that are either National
and/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 section unless they specifically noted in
their 2002 CFC application that they wished to be included in the International
section.
There are minor changes to the Introduction and Preface this year. Of note is the addition of new language under the definition
of a "Federations" which informs donors that federation members may
pay a fee and /or a percentage of donations to the federation as a service
charge. 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 Internet
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's tax
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 not also 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.
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.
Small campaigns that do not print the 25-word statements are also
exempt from publishing an index. The use of a Table of Contents
is also strongly encouraged. When using a Table of Contents, the categories of organizations
must be shown in the same order as defined by the OPM guidelines. Alphabetical and numerical indexes the National list are available on the CFC home
page. In addition, we have included a version of the National list without 25-word
statements. This format may be used by campaigns that received less than $100,000
in contributions in the 2001 CFC. 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 .
Ifyou have questions about accessing this list or any problems associated
with the format, please email Valinda Dickens at vldicken@opm.gov. She will be happy to assist you.
Best wishes for a successful campaign!
