About the Combined Federal Campaign
For more than four decades, the U.S. government has sponsored the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)--the world's largest workplace giving fundraising drive. In the last quarter of every calendar year, CFC invites civilian, military and postal employees to support eligible national and local charities. Each year more than 1.3 million employees pledge over a quarter billion dollars.

Employees choose the charities they wish to support from a list of charities that have submitted applications and been deemed qualified by the CFC. Approximately 1,900 national organizations and 40,000 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.

The CFC's long history, significant success, and special concern for the screening of charities has led other similar campaigns to follow its lead. Administrators of numerous state, municipal, and private sector campaigns incorporate all or part of the CFC list of charities into their own fundraising drives.

CoEd is also a member of the Latin America Fund, a CFC federation which brings together nonprofit organizations working to meet Latin America's needs in many areas of critical importance including conservation, food, health, human rights and development.
