CFC Code SHOULD be used on marketing and promotional materials, brochures, websites, newsletters, facebook pages
If you don’t have your 5-digit CFC code on your materials already (and can’t afford to print new ones)? Use labels, print your CFC #, and affix to brochures Have a rubber stamp made with CFC logo and 5-digit code Apply to your letterhead, newsletters, special event flyers, etc…
Use of CFC Logo For information on CFC Logo Usage, please go to www.opm.gov/cfc

TIPS FOR AGENCY FAIRS
What to Wear Some federal offices have a formal, business attire dress code Some have more business casual attire – Find out what is acceptable Check the invitation, it should include instructions about dress
Who to Send Send trained staff, not just seat fillers!
Train your staff and volunteers on your agency’s mission, vision and goals
Encourage your staff/volunteers to share your agency’s success stories Not just for agency fairs but for interaction outside of the CFC events
Only CFC approved charities/staff should attend Cannot “piggy-back” other charities on to CFC at Agency Fairs
(unless a federation)
