Abstract: The CFC regulations set forth at 5 CFR § 950.204(b)(1) states: An organization must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the LFCC of the appropriate local campaign, that it has a substantial local presence in the geographical area covered by the local campaign, a substantial local presence in the geographical area covered by an adjacent local campaign, or substantial statewide presence. Eligibility to participate in an adjoining campaign on the basis of adjacency or statewide presence may be discontinued upon implementation of appropriate electronic technology that allows removal of the need for geographic restrictions on giving as determined by the [U.S. Office of Personnel Management] Director. Universal giving allows donors to access an online search of all 24,000+ participating charities and make a pledge regardless of the geographic locations of the donor and the charity whereas, previously, donors could only give to the charities participating in their local campaign.

Short Statement: Local charitable organizations must submit an application to their respective Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC)—the entity that oversees the campaign locally—for the same privilege to participate in the local campaign.Duplication is minimized because local charity applicants need only make one application to apply to a campaign area. CFC policy allows an organization approved by its local campaign’s LFCC to be listed in all campaigns; however, these regulations allow for an abbreviated application to be submitted two out of every three years.
