Apply now for the Combined Federal Campaign

THE FEDERAL Executive Board is now accepting applications for the 2007 Hawaii-Pacific Area Combined Federal Campaign, the annual federal fund-raising drive. 

Nonprofits that have not qualified for funding from the CFC in the past may now qualify under new rules:

• The 25 percent ceiling on overhead expenses has been eliminated.
• The 80 percent ceiling on the amount of government funding has been eliminated.
• All agencies will get a new, five-digit, randomly generated code number.
• The Office of Personnel Management will scrutinize federal EIN numbers and recommends that nonprofits request current tax-exempt status letters from the Internal Revenue Service.
• Agencies with annual revenues exceeding $100,000 must have annual audits to participate and those with revenues exceeding $250,000 are required to submit the audit with their applications.
