Does United Way or the Oregon Federal Executive Board have any control over where a donation is designated?
Absolutely not. Wherever a donor designates his or her pledge, via the five-digit code on the pledge form, that’s where the donation goes. The only difference is if a donation is undesignated. By CFC regulation such funds are distributed at the end of the campaign to all charities receiving donations through the local CFC, based upon the percentage of total designated donations each charity receives.
