Fiscal Management of the Combined Federal Campaign
Each year, the Dept of Defense and other federal agencies participate in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). This campaign consolidates fund raising for many charities in a single effort. Computer automation for the annual CFC drive would reduce the number of manhours required to support the annual campaign. The CFC Collection System developed in this thesis automates many parts of the annual campaign. The system is menu driven for ease of use and has the capability to establish fund raising goals and produces reports on contributions, agencies receiving money, donating organizations, and historical comparisons. The system reduces the number of man hours required to support the campaign and increases the accuracy and speed of the campaign process. This thesis combined software engineering and database design methods to design and implement the CFC Collection System. The database was designed using the Entity Relationship (E-R) model. The E-R model first identified the required data elements and the relationships between elements and was then translated into a relational model, producing the tables required for implementation. Implementation of the database files was accomplished using the DBASE III database management system. The application software was designed using the data flow oriented approach to software design. The programs are written using a structured design and implemented in the DBASE III programming language.

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) administration of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) to determine: (1) the manner in which contributions are distributed among the participating charities, especially those contributions that are not designated to a specific charity; and (2) the methods used to determine which charities will be eligible to participate in CFC. Federal employees are free to choose to designate or not designate all or part of their contributions to specific charities. In 1982 campaigns, $35.6 million of the $101.2 million pledged by contributors was undesignated to specific charities. The methods used to distribute undesignated contributions have been controversial. However, beginning in 1982, OPM established a procedure whereby local federal officials oversee campaigns and one of the participating groups of charities administers the campaign and acts as fiscal agent. This procedure creates the appearance of, if not an actual, conflict of interest. To deal with this problem, OPM requires that campaign literature include: (1) encouragement to federal personnel to designate their contributions to specific charities; (2) a statement telling contributors that, if they do not designate, their contributions shall be distributed by the charity administering the campaign; and (3) the name of the charity administering the campaign. However, GAO found that OPM does not review campaign literature to ensure that it contains this information.
