The March 2012 Directive from OPM prohibited the use of CFC funds to pay for food or entertainment expenses. Federal employees who wish to donate food for a CFC event may do so. However, these individuals cannot be reimbursed for any expenses related to the preparation or transportation of the food.

The CFC is composed of 38 campaign zones in the US and overseas. Each zone has a unique listing of charities that includes local organizations in their area. While each zone’s Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC) approves its list of local charities, these charities are listed for consideration by all federal employees. For the list of eligible charities in your area, please use the CFC Pledging System.

Yes. The CFC regulations, set forth at 5 CFR §950.102, state that the CFC is the only authorized solicitation of employees in the Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations. No other monetary solicitation on behalf of charitable organizations may be conducted in the Federal workplace. The CFC regulations do not apply to the collection of gifts-in-kind, such as food, clothing and toys, or to the solicitation of Federal employees outside of the Federal workplace as defined by the applicable Agency Head consistent with General Services Administration regulations and any other applicable laws or regulations. Heads of departments or agencies may establish policies and procedures applicable to solicitations conducted by organizations composed of civilian employees or members of the uniformed services among their own members for organizational support or for the benefit of welfare funds for their members. Such solicitations are not subject to CFC regulations and, therefore, do not require permission of the Director.

No. All CFC Charity Lists must be faithful reproductions of those provided by OPM through the Central Campaign Administrator (CCA). This includes the order of local federations and independent organizations within the local portion of the CFC Charity List, which will be determined by a random selection process. The order of organizations within each federation will be determined by that federation. The order within the national and local independent groups will be alphabetical. For more information see 5 CFR §950.401(g)(2).
