Frequently Asked Questions |

Q How much of the dollars I donate goes to the administration/overhead of the CFC?
A NCWV CFC works hard to ensure that our donors pledges go toward the charity they designate. For your $100 donation to Charity-X, the charity receives $92.00 and NCWV CFC receives $8.00 to pay for items like pledge forms, campaign brochures, required advertisements and audits and staffing. Some of the administrative costs are underwritten by fundraisers and undesignated pledges.
Q Can federal agencies conduct fundraisers for the Combined Federal Campaign?
A Yes. Fundraisers can be organized within the time frame the CFC is held, September 1 through December 15, but donors must have the opportunity to direct donations to the charity of their choice listed in the current year’s brochure. The fundraiser cannot dictate where all the money is designated. Pledge forms should be made available to donors for their fundraising donations.
Q Why isn’t my favorite charity on the list?
A Every year is a new year for the CFC. Every charity in the brochure must be approved each year, either by the Local Federal Coordinating Committee if it is a local, state or adjacent charity, or by the Office of Personnel Management if it is a national or international charity.
Q I’m not from North Central West Virginia – can I designate my gift to a local charity in my former hometown?
A. No. Only charities within the geographic area covered by the local CFC can be included in local brochures. This does include charities in a CFC region adjacent to the local CFC region. A map showing the coverage areas of all CFC’s can be found at www.opm.gov/cfc
Q Why do I have to fill a pledge form each year; can’t my pledge just roll over?
A Each year is a new year for CFC. Charities included in one year may not be approved in the next. Pledge forms must be completed every year.
Q If I submit a payroll pledge when does the money come out of my paycheck?
A The first payroll deduction for CFC begins with the first pay date in the year following the campaign and concludes with the last pay date of that year. For example, pledges made in the fall of 2010 will be taken out in 2011.
Q What does the percent sign following the charities description signify?
A The percent sign is the agency’s administrative expenses calculated from the tax form charities submit annually to the Internal Revenue Service.
