Serving Justice - Securing Results

An employee may engage in fundraising in her personal capacity as long as she does not solicit from subordinates or persons having business with the Department and she does not use her official title or position. In addition, soliciting should not be done on government property.

An employee may not engage in fundraising, including active participation in a fundraiser, in her official capacity unless authorized by statute, executive order, regulation or agency determination. The only authorized fundraising in the Department is on behalf of the Combined Federal Campaign. However, an employee may be authorized to give an official speech at a fundraising event, if the circumstances are appropriate, even though this constitutes participating in a fundraiser.
