The Structure of the CFC
Each local campaign is managed by a Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC) which serves as a "Board of Directors" for the local campaign. The LFCC is comprised of Federal employees and is responsible for the oversight of the local CFC.
The LFCC makes admission determinations for local charities, selects the Campaign chair, and oversees the work of the Principal Combined Fund Organization (PCFO). The PCFO for the 2010 campaign is Aloha United Way.
The Campaign Chair and Planning Team organize the campaign and support local Federal agencies in conducting the campaign.
The PCFO supports the Chair and Planning Team, trains volunteers, prepares campaign materials, administers the day-to-day operation of the campaign and serves as its fiscal agent. The PCFO is responsible for disbursing the campaign receipts.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulates the CFC and provides guidance and oversight to the local campaigns. The fiscal integrity of the campaign is verified by OPM compliance audits and the annual local campaign audits completed by an independent CPA.
OPM annually makes admission decisions for all national and international charity applicants.
