CFC: 'Hope is the Greatest Gift of All'



The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) — the only authorized charitable fundraising campaign in the federal and postal workplace — is underway. The CFC promotes and supports philanthropy through a program that is cost efficient and effective in providing federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
This year’s theme is “Hope is the Greatest Gift of All.”
This year marks the 50th anniversary of CFC. The commitment and generosity of federal employees has made CFC one of the most successful altruistic programs in history. Since its inception in 1961, the campaign has raised more than $7 billion.

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 and much more. One of these organizations is the Postal Employees Relief Fund, which provides non-repayable grants to USPS employees and retirees who are victims of specified natural disasters or fires.
