CFC charity groups obscuring overhead costs, report finds - Management - GovExec.com

CFC charity groups obscuring overhead costs, report finds - Management - GovExec.com: Formed as umbrella groups of organizations with similar missions, federations ease the logistics burden on charities seeking to qualify for the annual federal employee giving drive. Federations help charities submit applications to the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the CFC, and create a single contact point to sort out the paperwork. They also increase the visibility of their member groups.

The federations charge fees for their services, but often are not up front about what those fees will be, according to the Workplace Giving Alliance, a consortium of federations working to promote efficiency in public sector workplace fundraising.
