Our services include:
Our services include:
- Admissions support: Requirements for admission to the CFC can be hard to understand, and half of first-time applications fail without expert guidance.
- Increased visibility: Becoming a member of our federation allows your charity to be listed thematically among like-minded organizations.
- Fiscal services: We consolidate data, track pledges, and distribute donated funds on a periodic basis throughout the year.
- Notification of promotional events: We alert you to speaking opportunities, kick-off events, government charity fairs, and other occasions when you can directly meet potential federal donors.
Our Guarantee
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requires all CFC applicants to pay a non-refundable fee at the time of application. If we recommend your organization to OPM for admission to the CFC and OPM rejects your application, we will refund the initial OPM fee. The risk is ours.
About the CFC
For more than five decades, the U.S. government has sponsored the Combined Federal Campaign - one of the world's largest workplace fundraising drives. Over this time, federal employees have donated more than $8 billion.
Each fall, beginning in September, federal employees - civilian, military and postal - are invited to support eligible national and local charities. Employees choose the groups they wish to support from a list of charities that have submitted applications and been deemed qualified by the CFC. Thousands of national and local organizations qualify for the campaign annually.
Donors may give once or request that a specific amount be withheld from their paychecks throughout the following calendar year. Employees overwhelmingly select the ongoing payroll deduction program.
