950.402—Pledge form.

(a) The Director will make available each campaign period at least one model pledge form which shall be reproduced at the local level.

(b) Campaigns may incorporate additional giving levels to the Director's authorized pledge form. Campaigns may also include their award recognition program. No further modifications to the pledge form are permitted unless approved in advance by the Director.

(c) An employee may not make a designation to an organization not listed in the Charity List. In addition, an employee may not make a CFC contribution to an organization listed in the Charity List of a campaign covering a geographic location different from the campaign where the employee works, except in cases of emergencies or disasters as approved by the Director. This restriction does not apply upon implementation of electronic technology that removes the geographic restrictions on giving as announced by the Director. Designations made to organizations not listed in the Charity List are not invalid, but will be treated as undesignated funds and distributed accordingly.

(d) In the event the PCFO receives a pledge form that has designations that add up to less than the total amount pledged, the PCFO must honor the total amount pledged and treat the excess amount as undesignated funds. In the event that a PCFO receives a pledge form that has a total amount pledged that is less than the sum of the individual designations, the PCFO must honor the designations by assigning a proportionate share of the total gift to each organization designated. For example, if an employee indicates a total gift of $100 on the pledge form, but designates $50 to one organization and $25 to each of three other organizations, the PCFO must adjust the pledges proportionately by entering a pledge of $40 to the first organization and $20 to each of the three other organizations.
