1 of 7Combin ed Fe de ral Campaign Char ity ApplicationCharityNexus.org is designed specifically to meet the needs of non-profit participation in the Combined Federal Campaign. CharityNexus.org is 100% electronic with no paper required. The charity review and vetting process outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations is rigorous. It results in a list of outstanding charities offered to Federal employees. Traditionally, it consumes an enormous amount of administrative time. Charities/Federations, PCFOs, and Federal volunteers spend thousands of hours every year performing the task of charity application to the CFC.
CharityNexus.org makes the application process easier for all parties involved.
PCFO – CFC Admin The CFC administrator manages the entire process and acts as a intermediate between the charitable organizations and the LFCC team. They allow applications into the LFCC approval process, set up the threshold of approved votes required, and communicate with charities regarding rejections or requests for more information. By simply logging into their account, they get a management level view of all applications. PCFO also have the ability to enter paper applications to be reviewed online.
Enormous time savingsOnline document storage and historical archive
Charities and FederationsCharities register, fill out the basic information found on the paper application form, upload supporting attachment files, and are able to selectively apply to any number of CFC regions. They can apply as either a local independent or a Federation and the forms and requirements automatically change. They get real time feedback about the status of their applications and have access to time-stamped logs and communications or instructions from the PCFOs. They can also, in subsequent years, simply log back in to the site to update their information, making re-applying very easy.
