The Combined Federal
Campaign (CFC) is the annual fund-raising drive conducted
by Federal employees in their workplace each fall. Each
year Federal employees and military personnel raise
millions of dollars through the CFC that benefits thousands
of non-profit charities. This page has been developed
to assist charitable organizations and other interested
parties who seek information about or who have questions
regarding the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
The mission of the CFC is to support and to promote
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.
With a tradition of commitment to the community through
the selfless efforts of Federal employees, the CFC
has its roots in the many charitable campaigns of
the early 1960s. Seeing a need to bring the diversity
of fundraising efforts under one umbrella, Federal
employees created the CFC---one campaign, once a year.
By allowing employees to select the organizations
of their choice from a single brochure and to make
their contributions through payroll deductions, the
CFC opened wide the door to more opportunities for
generous giving to literally hundreds of worthy causes.
An Executive Order made the CFC a reality, and turned
an innovative idea into a uniquely effective way for
Federal employees to help those in need across our
community and throughout the world. The CFC continues
to be the largest and most successful workplace fundraising
model in the world.
