Fellow Federal Employees:
As the Preamble to our Constitution so eloquently states, our government exists to “… establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
As public servants, we are dedicated to these principles. We represent a powerful, caring community
committed to the benefit of others.
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) provides us yet another way to serve our community and nation.
Through the CFC, we can support thousands of organizations in this Catalog of Caring whose mission it
is to help those in need. We can assist charities granting wishes to children battling cancer, organizations
supporting Veterans, and groups dedicated to sheltering the homeless and feeding the hungry.
In 2018, more than $34 million and more than 56,000 volunteer hours were pledged through our local
CFC here in the National Capital Area. This year, we hope to do even better! Even a modest contribution
can have a huge impact:
• $17 funds one day of a clinical trial for a cancer patient;
• $25 shelters, feeds and cares for an endangered animal;
• $50 provides a child with school meals for one year; and
• $100 builds emergency shelters for five families uprooted in the wake of a disaster.
Choose your cause, share your story, donate, volunteer and join us in this longstanding tradition of the
Combined Federal Campaign. Join the CFC this year with your federal colleagues and Show Some Love.
Thank you for being a public servant. Thank you also for being an everyday philanthropist through
the CFC!
Thank you,
Vince Micone
Chairperson
Local Federal Coordinating Committee

Can I still give to an organization if I cannot find the CFC code I used
last year?
No. Federal employees may not designate to any charity code not approved in the
2019 database.
Although CFC codes typically do not change from year to year, you may need to
find the new code for the organization. When searching, try using the organization’s
Employer Identification Number (EIN), or their name. If you are still having trouble
finding the organization, please verify with the organization that OPM approved its
application for the 2019 CFC and, if so, their new CFC code.
Does CFC allow me to pledge volunteer time instead of money?
Yes. Executive Order 13743 allows federal civilian employees and members of the
uniformed services to make pledges of volunteer time through the CFC in addition to
financial contributions. The 2019 CFC is the third year that CFC allows you to pledge
volunteer time to your favorite approved charities. Visit the CFC Pledge System
at www.opm.gov/ShowSomeLoveCFC to search for charities that offer volunteer
opportunities and pledge time.
How do I pledge volunteer hours?
You can pledge volunteer hours when completing your pledge. The charity listing,
both in print and electronic formats, identifies charities that are participating in
soliciting volunteer time from federal employees. You can search the charities that
offer volunteer opportunities. Please indicate the number of hours you would like
to pledge to the charities of your choice. Visit the CFC Pledge System at www.opm.
gov/ShowSomeLoveCFC to search for charities that offer volunteer opportunities and
pledge time.
What if I pledge volunteer hours but do not perform the hours?
The CFC expects you to honor pledges of both financial and volunteer time; however,
you can cancel your pledges at any time if your situation changes.
Does the government insure me from loss or bodily injury while
volunteering?
No. You will complete most volunteer work on personal time. In the limited cases
where you pledged volunteer time to charities and are using administrative leave to
fulfill the obligation, please refer to your department or agency policies. If you are not
using administrative leave, worker’s compensation does not cover you if injured while
doing volunteer work.
