The Combined Federal
Campaign (CFC) is
the only authorized
solicitation of Federal
employees in their
workplaces on behalf
of approved charitable
organizations.
The mission of the
CFC is to support
and to promote philanthropy
through a voluntary
program that is employee-focused,
cost-efficient and
effective in providing
all Federal employees
the opportunity to
improve the quality
of life for all.
The CFC began in
the early 1960's to
coordinate the fundraising
efforts of various
charitable organizations
so that the Federal
donor would only be
solicited once in
the workplace and
have the opportunity
to make charitable
contributions through
payroll deduction.
