About the CFC

With a tradition of commitment to the community through the selfless efforts of federal employees, the CFC has its roots in the many charitable campaigns of the early 1960s. Seeing a need to bring the diversity of fundraising efforts under one umbrella, Federal employees created the CFC-one campaign, once a year.

By allowing employees to select the organizations of their choice from a single brochure and to make their contributions through payroll deductions, the CFC opened wide the door to more opportunities for generous giving to literally hundreds of worthy causes.

An Executive Order made the CFC a reality, and turned an innovative idea into a uniquely effective way for Federal employees to help those in need across our community and throughout the world.

The CFC is the only authorized solicitation of employees in the Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations.

It continues to be the largest and most successful workplace fundraising model in the world.
