What are affiliated and independent organizations and federations?
Affiliated organizations receive services from a Federation that supplies common fundraising, administrative, and management services to its member organizations. Charitable organizations participating in the CFC as a member of a federation may pay dues or fees to that federation and participate in the CFC on their own. For additional information on a particular federation and any dues/fees paid by its members, either contact the federation, its members, or review the federation’s annual report.
