• Thirty-minute time limit for transaction
• Donor has no ability to change pledges electronically
• Work Address field is only an alpha-numeric field for tracking of military
command/unit or Federal agency/office
• Some pledges by members of the military were not made in home
geographic campaign area due to personnel records or donor entry
• Suggest personal confirmation of pledges $2,500 or higher;
• E-Mail Requirements
– The work e-mail address must be official “.mil” or “.gov” address. This is for
any official communication within the government about the gift.
– The “acknowledgement e-mail address (if selected) must be personal, not
“.mil” or “.gov.” OPM rules bar charities from communicating about the CFC
inside official government channels.

• Maximum donation amount for military personnel is $833/month;
for civilians is $1,000/pay period.
• Donors can designate to a maximum of 30 charities (29 if there are

• There is no paperwork associated with this pledge type. The donor
can print a receipt for his/her records. Highly recommend that they
print this.

Department/Unit Project Officer Turn-In
ECC or IPO Collection from Department or Unit POC
52

If collecting from larger organizations that have multiple
departments, offices, units or even shifts (sub-sections), the
DPO or UPO will track and turn in those pledges by the
corresponding subsection. (ie HR, Finance, Customer Service
etc. or Squadron 1, Squadron 2 etc) This ensures proper credit
to each part of that organization AND if donor information has
to be verified, it provides for a contact closer to the donor to
validate.

Each of these subsections should have envelope tracking 1 of 4,
2 of 4, 3 of 4, 4 of 4 on the reporting envelope, which would
then be rubber banded together by the DPO or UPO.

ECC / IPO or designated Finance officer will record multiple
envelopes on organization ledger & turn-in to PCFO.
Why do I have to do All of This
1. OIG tracking

53
All pledge envelopes must be accounted for at all times

If pledge envelopes were to be misplaced, the ECC/IPO
would know from the ledger what envelopes were
unaccounted for

If the PCFO were to misplace envelopes the hub director
could go back to the Ledger to track the date of the turnin.
Thank you for partnering with the CFC!
Why do I have to do All of This
2. OPM Personal Identifying Information (PII) &
Other Sensitive Information (OSI) Memorandum

54
OPM generally defines PII as information that:

Can be used to discern or trace a person’s or entity’s
identity; and alone or combined with other information
can be used to compromise the integrity of agency
records relating to a person by permitting access to
unauthorized disclosure of these records

OPM Personal Identifying Information (PII) & Other

OPM defines OSI as any information:

55
Related to the Federal donor or charitable entity that
could alone, or combined with other information, be
used to commit fraudulent acts against the Federal donor
or charitable entity. For example, a donor’s home
address, bank account number or routing number would
constitute other sensitive information.

It is the local campaign’s responsibility to ensure it has
implemented adequate controls to protect against the
unauthorized release and misuse of personally identifiable

responsible for the proper handling of PII and OSI,
regardless of location.

In accordance with 5 CFR § 950.104(b)(13) a LFCC is
required to immediately report to OPM all potential PII
data and OSI breaches -- whether they involve paper
documents or electronic information. Potential PII data

Both actual and suspected breaches should be reported,
even if it is believed the breach is limited, small, or
insignificant. In addition, the LFCC is reminded of its
obligation to report all security incidents involving PII to
US-CERT within the Department of Homeland Security
(see US- CERT web site at http://www.uscert.gov/federal/reportingRequirements.html) and
providing notification to victims of PII or OSI breaches, as
appropriate.
