Question
Can a federal entity donate funds from a silent auction to a CFC endorsed charity if the auction is held in the month of February or must the auction be held during the CFC campaign timeframe (Sep-Dec)?
Answer
The CFC is authorized to solicit pledges from Federal employees and retirees during a solicitation period set by the Director between September 1 and January 15. The CFC cannot accept funds that were outside of that time period. Moreover, fundraising events cannot be held for the CFC.
