Ethics

The CFD is a unique program.

Sometimes, programs that don't fit inside a box can produce important questions about Ethics. Below are some helpful links that will help you during the campaign.

 

• Use of State Time and Resources (Ethics Opinion 00-09)

  This is the official Executive Ethics Board opinion that allows the Combined Fund Drive to operate much in the manner of a private nonprofit. Because of this ruling in 2000, volunteers of the CFD are allowed to use state resources (i.e. time and materials) to administer CFD events.
