Non-Profit Agency Selection
All decisions regarding the
inclusion of agencies in a local CFC campaigns rest with the local CFC
Board of Directors, called the Local Federal Coordinating Committee
(LFCC). The Board of Directors is composed of Federal employees and
representatives of labor unions with Federal employees as members. Every
year, the local Board of Directors selects one of the voluntary
organizations involved in the CFC to manage the campaign and serve as
fiscal agent. This agency, called the Principal Combined Fund
Organization (PCFO), manages the CFC. OPM sets strict requirements for
this role, including annual audits of the PCFO by an independent CPA.
