CFC Kickoff Oct 1: "Compassion of Individuals, Power of Community"

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) — the nation’s largest workplace fundraising campaign — is under way. This year’s campaign theme is “The Compassion of Individuals, the Power of Community.”

Since 1961, federal employees have contributed more than $6 billion to this campaign. Last year, CFC raised $66.5 million in pledges for participating local, national and international charities and had more than 150,000 donors. The goal for this year’s drive, which ends December 11, is $67 million.

Over the years, CFC has become a powerful way for employees to make donations to charities to help people and communities in need. CFC has more than 4,000 approved charities eligible to receive donations — including organizations that provide human services, health care, medical research, disaster relief, housing, youth development and much more.

When your CFC canvasser comes to your work unit, open your heart and donate to a charitable cause. All donations --- large and small --- can and do make a difference.
