Proposed CFC Regulations

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing new regulations to govern the Combined Federal Campaign. The 60-day comment period is now open (as of 4/5/13) and I urge you to review them and comment if you wish.
These regulations change the CFC in major ways and may affect your participation as a charity, your role as a federal agency, or your method of donating to charities in the campaign.
Please use this link to access the regulations and information on how to submit your comment:   https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-08017.pdf

 Campaign Cookbook

The Campaign Cookbook sales have netted over $3000 for charities in the campaign -- the most successful campaign fundraiser ever!. Thanks to all who expanded their culinary repertoire -- and helped the charities as well! Cookbooks are still available and can be ordered by contacting the campaign at cfc@communitysharesmn.org.

Funds raised will go to undesignated to be apportioned to charities in the campaign that receive designations.

50th Commission Report

As part of the commemoration of CFC's 50th Anniversary, a commission was convened to make recommendations for the campaign. The report has just been issued with some interesting and far-reaching proposals. See the full report here http://www.opm.gov/cfc/CFC%20Commission%20Report.pdf. . There is an Executive Summary that highlights the recommendations.

ONLINE PLEDGING

You can access your CFC Nexus pledge by logging in and clicking on the menu item, My Pledges and Profile. You will be able to see all previous pledges.
Credit card pledging, both one-time and recurring, is also possible under CFC Nexus.

You can try a demo of the system at www.cfcnexus.org; just click on the banner that says Demo. Since it is just a demo, the information goes nowhere.

EMPLOYEES RECOMMEND A CHARITY

Don't see a favorite charity on the list? Charities must apply annually to be included in the CFC Charity List. Let your favorite organization know about CFC and have them contact Wink Newcomb at wnewcomb@communitysharesmn.org or 651-647-6491

NEED A RECEIPT FOR FILING TAXES?

Donors who need a receipt for their cash or check donation to the 2010 CFC may get one by contacting the CFC office at 651-647-6491 or by contacting Wink Newcomb: wnewcomb@communitysharesmn.org.

Donors who made payroll deductions do not need a receipt as their end-of-year earnings statement along with their pledge form provide sufficient documentation.
