Limitations • Campaign Goals: • May create dollar goals for installations and units • May not create individual dollar goals, individual quotas • May not show preferential treatment to any specific charity • Fundraising events may not have “designated” CFC beneficiaries • Each donor must be allowed to make their own decision about how to designate their donation • Voluntariness is KEY • No Running Lists
Limitations • Non-DoD Personnel (contractors) MAY NOT be solicited to give to CFC • Non-Governmental personnel who work on Federal premises (contractors, credit union) may make voluntary unsolicited contributions • Supervisors may support and promote CFC, but may not solicit subordinates or coerce giving • May authorize limited use of resources, including APF, in support
Bottom Line • DoD Personnel should be mindful NOT to: • Show preferential treatment to any CFC charities; • Misuse Government resources in support of CFC; • Solicit or coerce subordinates or non-Federal entities for contributions; and • Solicit for contributions from DoD contractors or other non-DoD sources
