The Northern New Jersey Combined Federal Campaign is open to any 501(c)3 Charitable Organization that can meet the qualifications set forth by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).  The application period generally runs at the beginning of the year. If your organization is interested in participating in the campaign we suggest that you visit the Calendar of Events section beginning December to see if the new campaign dates have been determined for the 2012-2013 campaign season.

Additional dates for the 2012-2013 CFC campaign season have not been determined.  Please check the Calendar of Events often for additional information.

Please Note: WHEN SUBMITING THE APPLICATION FOR THE 2012/2013 CAMPAIGN PLEASE BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT APPLICATION BECAUSE CHANGES MAY HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE 2012/2013 CFC APPLICATION.

 2012 Local Independent Application

Charitable organizations that are not members of a federation or choose not to be affiliated with a federation may submit an unaffiliated agency application.  Agencies must complete the entire application and submit it by the deadline indicated.

OPM is not issuing a 2012 Family Support and Youth Activities (commonly referred to as Morale, Welfare and Recreation organizations or "MWR's") application.  These groups must follow the requirements outlined in the CFC regulations at 5 CFR 950.204(d) and CFC Memo 2011-01.  Additionally, the letter from the commander of the military installation must certify that the organization is a "Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality that supports the installation MWR/FSYA program." Each organization must also provide an Employer Identification Number (EIN) so that PCFOs can meet IRS Form 990 reporting requirements.
