Combined Federal Campaign
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC ) is a program allowing certain charitable organizations to solicit contributions from the employees of the federal government of the United States. The mission of the CFC is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost efficient and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
Established in 1961, the CFC is the largest workplace charity campaign in the United States and the ONLY campaign authorized to solicit and collect contributions from federal employees in the workplace on behalf of charitable organizations. As the world's largest and most successful annual workplace giving campaign, each year, more than 350 CFC campaigns throughout the United States and internationally help raise millions of dollars. Nearly four million federal employees and military personnel are able to contribute to the charities of their choice during the annual charity drive , which runs from September 1 through December 15th of each year. Pledges made by federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world. These contributions can be made by cash, or check or can be automatically deducted from the employees paychecks. It remains the largest and most successful workplace fundraising model in the world.
