Agreement Acceptance
CHARITY OUTREACH PROGRAM GUIDELINES
These guidelines have been set forth to administer the CFC fairly and equitably for all charities within the campaign. Before attending and/or speaking at any campaign events or any associated activity, a leader from your organization must carefully read and digitally sign this agreement.
1. We understand that we are at a CFC event; therefore, the government prohibits all supplemental fundraising and collecting names.
2. At any event, our organization may distribute promotional items of nominal value; however, we understand that the government also prohibits the sale of items. Our representatives will check with department or agency sponsors before engaging in raffles, drawings, or any promotion which could be construed as gaming or gambling.
3. We understand that when we are at a CFC event, we are there to represent not only our organization, but all charities in the campaign, and will abide by CFC regulations 5 CFR Part §950, OPM instructions, and federal department and agency ethics guidelines.
4. Our organization has representatives who are willing and able to enter United States government facilities to attend charity fairs.
5. If someone from our organization agrees to attend a campaign event, the representative will arrive on time and with appropriate photo identification(s) issued by a valid government agency (driver’s license, U.S. passport, or other). Note: At times, certain state identification cards such as driver’s licenses have been deemed unacceptable for entrance into federal government facilities. Please check in advance to ensure your state’s licensing program meets federal standards. Otherwise, an alternate form of identification will be required, such as a U.S. passport. Some facilities may require two forms of ID. Federal security rules do not consider credit cards as a form of identification. Library cards, voter registration cards, and any document issued by the government may be acceptable second forms of identification, but you should always check in advance.
6. If unable to attend (after confirming their participation), the representative will inform the CFC and the department or agency organizer as soon as possible.
7. Our representatives will professionally provide customer service and will greet, receive, and thank all attendees with equal respect, dignity, and enthusiasm.
8. Representatives will not attend events to which our organization has not been invited.
9. We will use only the allotted display area and understand that we may have to share table space with other charities.
10. We will attend all CFC events in professional attire (e.g., no shorts, flip-flops, etc.).
11. We will inform CFC officials immediately about any significant problems encountered or any changes in our contact information.
12. We understand that photography (even photographing our display) may be restricted. We will check in advance before bringing cameras or cell phones inside the facility.
13. We will ensure that any staffers attending campaign events know of the CFC Charity Outreach Program requirements.
