PART 950--SOLICITATION OF FEDERAL CIVILIAN AND UNIFORMED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO PRIVATE VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 950.108  Preventing coercive activity.

    True voluntary giving is fundamental to Federal fundraising 
activities. Actions that do not allow free choices or create the 
appearance employees do not have a free choice to give or not to give, 
or to publicize their gifts or to keep them confidential, are contrary 
to Federal fundraising policy. Activities contrary to the non-coercive 
intent of Federal fundraising policy are not permitted in campaigns. 
They include, but are not limited to:
    (a) Solicitation of employees by their supervisor or by any 
individual in their supervisory chain of command. This does not prohibit 
the head of an agency to perform the usual activities associated with 
the campaign kick-off and to demonstrate his or her support of the CFC 
in employee newsletters or other routine communications with the Federal 
employees.
    (b) Supervisory inquiries about whether an employee chose to 
participate or not to participate or the amount of an employee's 
donation. Supervisors may be given nothing more than summary information 
about the major units that they supervise.
    (c) Setting of 100 percent participation goals.
    (d) Establishing personal dollar goals and quotas.
    (e) Developing and using lists of non-contributors.
    (f) Providing and using contributor lists for purposes other than 
the routine collection and forwarding of contributions and allotments, 
and as allowed under Sec. 950.601.
    (g) Using as a factor in a supervisor's performance appraisal the 
results of the solicitation in the supervisor's unit or organization.
