COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN
2016 Application Instructions for
National/International Federations
BACKGROUND
Enclosed is the model application for use by
national/intern ational federations to particip ate in
the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). A
federation is a group of voluntary charitable human
health and welfare organizations created to supply
common fundraising, administrative, and
management services to its constituent members.
A federation must have at least 15 member
organizations, inaddition to itself, that individually
meet all of the CFC eligibility criteria. If your
organization does not have 15 member
organizations that meet the CFC eligibility criteria,
it must apply as an independentorganization using
the independentorganization application.
The following instru ctions and form are intended
to assist charitable federations in applying for
participation in the CFC. All aspects of the CFC,
including eligibility for participation, are strictly
governed by Federal regulation. Thecurrent CFC
regulations can be viewedon our website at
www.opm.gov/cfc
. Additional copies of the
application can also be downloaded from the
website. The Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) encourages federations to ap ply early.
The application deadline for national/international
federations seeking eligibility is 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time, Friday, January 15, 2016, but
applic ations may be sent to OPM ’sOffice of CFC
as early as Tuesday, December 1, 2015.All
federation and federation member applications
must be submitted electronically on a CD-ROMor
USB flash drive by the application deadline. A

OPM will not accept late applications. It is the
applicant’s responsibility thatits application and
all required supplemental informationis received
by the scheduled deadline. Requests for con-
sideration after the deadline will not be
considered.
All requ ired documents and attachments mu st be
complete and submitted before the application
deadline. Documents that did not exist at the time
of the application deadlinewill not be accepted
during the appeals process. Federations that
apply for national/internationaleligibility and are
found ineligible haveonly oneopportunity to
appeal to the Director of OPM. The Director's
decision is final for administrative purposes.
Therefore, appellants should ensure that their
appeals are comp lete and responsive to th e actual
reasons for the original denial decision.
OPM suggests that national/international
OMB Form 1647-B
Rev. September 2015

federations use the model application provided
when applying to the CFC. Although not
required, the submission of this form will
expedite the processing of individual appli-
cations. OPM will not accept applicationforms
withmodifications toany ofthe certification
statements.
In order to determine whether afederationmay
participate in the campaign, OPM may request
evidence of corrective action regarding any prior
violation of regulation or directive, sanction, or
penalty, as appropriate. OPM will decide whether
the federationhas demonstrated, to OPM’s
satisfaction, that the federationhas taken
appropriate corrective action. Failure to demon-
strate satisfactory corrective action or to respond to
OPM’s request for information within 10 business
days of the date of the request may result in a
determination that the federationwill not be
includedin the Charity List.

databasean emailwill be sent to the contact
