State employees and higher education employees are permitted to conduct CFD events, communications and solicitations per the ethics board ruling. Solicitations of state employees or higher education employees conducted during work hours must use methods that permit true voluntary giving. Solicitations must reserve to the individual the option of disclosing any contribution or maintaining confidentiality to the extent confidentiality is permitted by law. Campaign kick-offs, recognition events, trainings, meetings, awards and other nonsolicitation events to build support for the CFD are encouraged. CFD fund-raising events, such as raffles (as permitted by RCW 9.46.0209 and 42.52.805), drawings, auctions, bake sales, carnivals, athletic events, or other activities not specifically provided for in these rules are permitted when approved, in advance, by the participating employer. At the discretion of each participating employer, state employees or higher education employees may be authorized to attend CFD promotional and fund-raising events on state work time.
