Charity Eligibility & Participation

Questions and answers

Application fees are due at the time of the filing of the application or the application deadline, whichever occurs last. An organization that has not paid the full application fee at that time may not participate in the CFC that campaign year.

Listing fees will be applied to all organizations approved for participation. If the listing fee is not submitted prior to the annual date set by OPM, the approved charity will not be listed in the paper or electronic Charity Lists and CFC contributions will not be processed on their behalf.

Will application and listing fees be paid up-front, at the time of application by the organization? Or will they be taken from pledges when they are disbursed to the charities?
