Charities critical of new federal giving rules
The Obama administration will issue new federal employee charitable giving regulations that it says 鈥渨ill mean that more of a Federal worker鈥檚 contribution to the CFC will go directly to the charities they want to help.鈥
Charitable leaders, however, fear the new rules will 听result in fewer donors and lower contributions to the听.
The CFC funnels donations from federal employees to charitable organizations. The new regulations were submitted by the Office of Personnel Management last week and will be published in the Federal Register soon.
罢丑别听听say cash donations will be eliminated, all charities will pay a nonrefundable application fee and, in an effort to streamline operations, the distribution of funds to charities will move from more than 150 CFC financial centers 鈥渢o one or a few Central听Campaign Administrators (CCA).鈥
Centralization is one of the main concerns of leaders of charitable organizations.
