(j) Distributions of deductions by any local campaign
managers appointed by the state policy committee.
(1) Requirement to use the percentage method. A local
campaign manager shall use the percentage method to distribute deducted
amounts to eligible local charitable organizations and statewide federations
or funds.
(2) Description of the percentage method.
(A) Immediately after the end of a state employee charitable
campaign, a local campaign manager shall calculate the contribution
percentage for:
(i) each eligible local charitable organization that
has been approved to participate in the local campaign area under
the manager's responsibility; and
(ii) each statewide federation or fund to which state
employees in the local campaign area have authorized deductions.
(B) The contribution percentage for an eligible local
charitable organization is the ratio of:
(i) the sum of:
(I) the organization's designated initial distribution
amount with respect to all state employees in the local campaign area
as determined under subsection (c)(1)(C) - (D) of this section; and
(II) the organization's undesignated initial distribution
amount with respect to all state employees in the local campaign area
as determined under subsection (c)(1)(F)(ii) of this section; to
(ii) the total amount of deductions authorized to the
local campaign manager on authorization forms and electronic deduction
authorizations completed during the campaign.
(C) The contribution percentage for a statewide federation
or fund is the ratio of:
(i) the federation or fund's undesignated initial distribution
amount with respect to all state employees in the local campaign area
as determined under subsection (c)(1)(F)(iii) of this section; to
(ii) the total amount of deductions authorized to the
local campaign manager on authorization forms and electronic deduction
authorizations completed during the campaign.
(D) The contribution percentage for an eligible local
charitable organization or a statewide federation or fund may not
be recalculated before the conclusion of the next state employee charitable
campaign.
(E) The amount of deductions that a local campaign
manager distributes to an eligible local charitable organization or
a statewide federation or fund is equal to the product of:
(i) the contribution percentage of the organization
or federation or fund; and
(ii) the total amount of deductions the manager is
distributing.
(3) Example of the percentage method. This paragraph
illustrates the percentage method described in paragraph (2) of this
subsection.
(A) The following assumptions apply in this example.
(i) Organization 1, an eligible local charitable organization,
has a designated initial distribution amount of $5,000 and an undesignated
initial distribution amount of $1,250.
(ii) Organization 2, an eligible local charitable organization,
has a designated initial distribution amount of $3,000 and an undesignated
initial distribution amount of $750.
(iii) Organization 3, an eligible local charitable
organization, has a designated initial distribution amount of $2,000
and an undesignated initial distribution amount of $500.
(iv) Organization 4, a statewide federation or fund,
has an undesignated initial distribution amount of $1,250.
(v) Organization 5, a statewide federation or fund,
has an undesignated initial distribution amount of $1,250.
(vi) The total amount of deductions authorized to the
local campaign manager is $15,000.
(vii) The local campaign manager has actually received
$10,000 in deducted amounts.
(B) The first step is to calculate the contribution
percentage for each organization according to paragraph (2)(B) - (C)
of this subsection. The contribution percentage for each organization
is as follows:
(i) Organization 1--41.67%;
(ii) Organization 2--25%;
(iii) Organization 3--16.67%;
(iv) Organization 4--8.33%;
(v) Organization 5--8.33%.
(C) The second and final step is to calculate the amount
that the local campaign manager distributes to each organization according
to paragraph (2)(E) of this subsection. The amount for each organization
is as follows:
(i) Organization 1--$4,167;
(ii) Organization 2--$2,500;
(iii) Organization 3--$1,667;
(iv) Organization 4--$833;
(v) Organization 5--$833.
(4) Prohibition of distributions until payment reports
reconciled. A local campaign manager may not make a distribution before
the manager reconciles the payment reports received from the comptroller
or an institution of higher education with the payments received by
electronic funds transfer or by warrant or check.
(5) Frequency of distributions. A local campaign manager
shall make distributions quarterly or more frequently than quarterly.
(k) Distributions of deductions by statewide federations
or funds.
(1) Requirement to use the percentage method. A statewide
federation or fund shall use the percentage method to distribute deducted
amounts to eligible charitable organizations.
(2) Description of the percentage method.
(A) Immediately after the end of a state employee charitable
campaign, a statewide federation or fund shall calculate the contribution
percentage for each eligible charitable organization that is an affiliate
of the federation or fund.
(B) The contribution percentage for an eligible charitable
organization is the ratio of:
(i) the sum of:
(I) the organization's designated initial distribution
amount with respect to all state employees who have authorized deductions
to the statewide federation or fund as determined under subsection
(c)(2)(C) - (D) of this section; and
(II) the organization's undesignated initial distribution
amount with respect to all state employees who have authorized deductions
to the statewide federation or fund as determined under subsection
(c)(2)(E) of this section; to
