Dear Federal, Military and Postal Employees, and Retirees,

        We are honored to serve as your co-chairs of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) this
        fall. As people who have worked in organizing and advocacy, efforts like this excite us,
        because it is a collaborative effort that gives everyone a chance to make a difference and
        has tangible impacts for families in every community.

        This year continues to challenge us all in unexpected ways in our neighborhoods, our
        nation, and around the world.

        From the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and economic struggles it continues to cause,
        to the extreme weather events like Hurricane Ida and the wildfires burning across
        the West, there is no shortage of reasons to give.

        It’s our hope that we all work together and make this year’s CFC a success. We invite all
        members of the federal community – wherever you are – to join the CFC community.
        With your gift through the CFC, you can make a difference for those who need it
        most: from International communities to Indian Country to local communities and
        everywhere in between.

        The CFC is our employee-focused and cost-efficient opportunity to improve the quality of
        life for those in need. Thanks to this incredible, voluntary philanthropy program, pledges
        from federal employees have topped $8.5 billion since 1961. Every dollar counts in making
        a positive change.

        This is our campaign – allowing us to give via payroll deduction, support multiple vetted
        charities with one donation, and even pledge our time to volunteer. People in need around
        the world are relying on our help now more than ever. Give to a charitable cause you care
        about through the CFC now through January 15, 2022.

        This year, in addition to our online CFC Giving System, an enhanced CFC Giving Mobile App
        for Apple and Android devices allows donors to pledge on the go through charity fairs,
        campaign events, and more.

        You can be the face of change. Visit the CFC Giving System today at https://cfcgiving.opm.
        gov/welcome to create an account and pledge to the charities of your choice.

Dear Colleagues:

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) provides an opportunity for federal employees and
retirees to be changemakers by giving, volunteering, and engaging.

Generous donors within the federal community support participating CFC charities and
the hundreds of causes they represent. This extension of our role of as civil servants is an
opportunity to make an impact locally, nationally, and globally. Whether you care about
the environment and animals, equality and welfare in our communities, healthcare and
medical research, our children and education, or something else, there is a CFC charity for
you, and a chance to change our world for the better.

When you pledge through the CFC, you have the possibility to:
  • $20: fill a child’s backpack with school supplies, readying them to learn;
  • $75: offset 1,000 pounds of carbon in the air;
  • $80: construct a shelter for a refugee family;
  • $200: teach a mother farming techniques to feed her children and increase income.

A year before President Kennedy established the CFC in 1961, he said “courage—not
complacency—is our need today…” He described the historical value of building community
together within our history as a Nation, “Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and
freely…call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition.” From helping
neighbors build farms to responding to the impacts of devastating storms, we are
there for each other. The CFC is a tool that enables this type of service and contribution
to community.

This year celebrates the 60th anniversary of the CFC. Over $8.5 billion has been raised by
the federal community through this consequential effort. Honor the tradition of giving
with us, and consider donating one-time $60 anniversary gift in addition to your recurring
pledge, signing up for 60 volunteer hours, or engaging in a 60-min CFC activity. Talk to your
agency’s CFC representative to learn more.

Visit GiveCFC.org to join the caring community and be a changemaker today!

Thank you,

    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.
    Am I representing my Federal department or agency when
    volunteering with a charity?
    Volunteers fulfilling volunteer time via the CFC program are not on official
    Government business. If you pledge volunteer time and use administrative
