Congressional District Programs, in memo line note ONF  Acc’t # 5009780.

Congressional District Programs (CDP) is a public charity dedicated to the development and support of NON DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS (some call them “field of interest” funds). These funds may have a local or a global focus.   

• CDP is a separate, independent public 501(c)(3) charitable corporation sharing staff responsibilities with the NHF/DAF.
• Each CDP project will have a Program Manager, who may not be a donor, nor may his or her family be donors. The Program Manager should be selected for his or her enthusiasm, knowledge and support of the chosen charitable field of interest.          
• Donors will not be permitted to be advisors to the project in regard to either disbursements or investments. Nor may a donor receive reimbursement for program-related expenses, compensation or any other payment from any CDP Program to which he or she donates. Support for the project will be derived from fund raising from the public or grants from foundations, government agencies or other third party organizations.
• The Program Manager will work with a Project Director, a staff member of CDP, and the final decisions as to distributions and investments will be made by top CDP staffers.  
• The CDP will contact the Congressman’s office where the project is located to inform him or her of what the nature of the charitable activities are going on in the Congressional District, and elicit from the office support for the project being undertaken.
• No incorporation is necessary for projects approved as CDP's: they will all be “projects" of Congressional District Programs, Inc. Each project will be identified by its project name, and will use the Employer Identification Number issued to CDP by the IRS.
