Dos and Don’ts for 2014 CFC Published Sept. 25, 2014 71st Flying Training Wing Legal Office VANCE AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- The 2014 Combined Federal Campaign begins Sept. 29 and will run until Nov. 7. It is one of two fundraisers authorized for the workplace. The other is the Air Force Assistance Fund. Now that the 2014 CFC is underway it's a good time to review fundraising guidance. Team Vance members assisting with this campaign must ensure that contributions are voluntary and employees are not to be coerced in any way to make contributions to the CFC. Additionally, no one may establish lists of persons who do not contribute to this campaign. During the CFC, all other fundraising activities in the workplace are prohibited. This does not mean people cannot conduct any fundraisers. The key is to distinguish between "in the workplace" and "away from the workplace." The workplace includes offices, hangars and the flight line. Areas considered away from the workplace include base quarters, entrances, lobbies or concourses of buildings, schools and chapels. Fundraising events that support local internal programs may be held away from the workplace during the CFC. These events must be approved by the 71st Flying Training Wing commander, or his delegate, and cannot detract from the CFC. Such events must be conducted by Air Force members to raise funds for the benefit of Airmen - like a squadron bake sale. Private organizations and unofficial activities must send a fundraising form to Jeff Patton, the 71st Force Support Squadron chief contracting officer representative for community services and lodging, before conducting a fundraiser. For more information and coordination, call 213-6553. For more information on fundraising guidelines, contact the 71st FTW Legal Office at 213-7404.
