New guidelines for 2011
For the 2011 campaign, employees will no longer be able to “write-in” agency or nonprofit recipients. Only agencies that have applied and been approved by the Alaska Combined Federal Campaign can be selected. The Alaska Combined Federal Campaign has verified these agencies’ and nonprofits’ 501(c)(3) status. All previous write-in candidates were given the opportunity to apply to the Alaska Combined Federal Campaign.
