This is the official San Antonio Area Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) web site. Charitable organizations appearing in this site have complied with regulations governing their participation in the CFC. The site consists of a National and International List of organizations, approved by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and a Local List of organizations, approved by the Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC). Charitable organizations and federations eligible for the National List have elected to appear either in the National/International, International or Local section based on the scope of their programs. Each organization entry includes the following information: organization's name; statement of purpose; phone number; web site address; legal name of the organization (if other than the name they use to do business); the employer identification number ("EIN"); and, the percentage of fundraising and administrative costs as a percentage of total revenue. The EIN# has been added to provide donors another point of reference if you wish to obtain information about an organization's finances from the IRS. Please note that some organizations may be covered under an umbrella organization's tax exemption status and may not list the EIN. Religious organizations are exempt from the requirement of having an EIN.

What is a Federation?

A federation is a group of voluntary charitable human health and welfare organizations established for purposes of supplying common fundraising, administrative, and management services to its members. Each federation is listed with its member organizations as the first organization. If you wish to designate all or some portion of your contribution to a federation, please record that federation's corresponding code number on your pledge card. Contributions designated to a federation will be shared in accordance with the federation's policy. If you wish to designate all or some portion of your contribution to a federation member organization, please record that organization's corresponding code number on your pledge card.

Unaffiliated Organizations

You may wish to designate to a specific organization or organizations not affiliated with a federation (unaffiliated organizations). If you wish to designate all or some portion of your contribution to an unaffiliated organization, please record that organizations corresponding code number on your pledge card.

International General Designation Option

If you wish your contribution to be distributed proportionately to all international organizations that received designated gifts, you may do so by recording the code letters identified below on your pledge card.

• IIII - I request that my gift be shared by all international organizations listed in the "International Section" of the "Agency Listing" in the same proportion that international organizations received designations.
  

Undesignated Funds

Even if you choose not to designate to a specific agency or federation, your contribution will still be accepted. Funds contributed to the CFC, but not designated to a specific organization or federation, will be distributed to all organizations in the CFC brochure in the same proportion as they received in designations. Organizations which do not receive designated dollars cannot receive any donations.
