2010 Local Charity Applications
The application period is closed for 2010. CFC will have charity lists available in late August.
Office of Personnel Management will review ALL charities for 2010 for compliance with IRS status 501(c)3. Use this link to check if your organization is still in the current IRS Tax registry IRS Tax File Charity Search. Please review the information below under references.
Reasons charities are denied by OPM: IRS does not have a current status/tax letter, you are part of group and do not have a letter (within one year) from your national headquarters certifying your organization as a member (including supporting documentation), you do not have the correct 990 or it is incorrectly completed.
