Charities can now raise less money to qualify for federal employee donations
What happened
The US Office of Personnel Management just made it easier for charities to qualify for the Combined Federal Campaign. For the next 18 months, charities can meet lower revenue thresholds to participate in the federal employee donation program.
Why it matters
The Combined Federal Campaign is a major source of funding for many charities, especially smaller ones. By lowering the revenue requirements, the government is making it easier for more organizations to access these donations. This change could help smaller charities stay afloat or expand their services.
The signal
Watch whether a significantly higher number of smaller charities apply and are approved to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign over the next 18 months.
