2021 CHARITY LISTING
DONATE TODAY AT GIVECFC.ORG
HOSTED BY THE U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Colleagues:
What a year! As we recover from the challenges of the past year and meet the new challenges
of 2021 and beyond, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) pledges are making a real and
meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. I am thrilled to report that last year in the
Ohio CFC, we collectively pledged more than $1.7 million and 2,360 volunteer hours. Thousands
of charities and countless beneficiaries are depending on our continued generous support.
Each fall, we have the privilege and opportunity to support charitable causes near and dear to
us through the CFC. Some people might say it takes an extraordinary person to care enough to
give, but it’s easier than you might think. Anyone can become a changemaker through the CFC.
Here’s how it works:
1. Choose your cause. Whether you care about finding cures for diseases, supporting military
families, or promoting equality for all, the CFC has vetted charities for any cause you want to
support. You can even give to multiple charities with one pledge.
2. Make your pledge. My favorite giving option, the online pledge portal, allows you to easily
renew your pledge each year and offers the full range of pledge options:
• Payroll deduction (the most popular!)
• Credit/debit card
• E-check/bank transfer
• Volunteer hours (federal employees only)
Other options include the CFC Giving Mobile App and paper pledge forms.
3. Change the World. Thanks to our generosity, CFC charities will make a difference in our
local communities, across the nation, and around the world.
As federal employees and retirees, we represent a strong, caring community through the CFC.
WE ARE THE FACES OF CHANGE. Federal employees. Retirees. Military personnel. Postal
workers. Changemakers. Every year, we give to our favorite charities through the CFC and
change the world together.
This year, we celebrate 60 years of giving through the CFC. Join me in continuing this
legacy – consider becoming a Diamond Donor and pledge $60 a month/$720 annually at
GiveCFC.org today.
Thank you for your support!

and regulations to facilitate fund-raising on behalf of charitable organizations
through on-the-job solicitation of Federal employees and military personnel,
and to ensure that recipient agencies are responsible in the use of the
funds raised. CFC Regulations can be found in Title 5, Part 950 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (external link) maintained at most regional and
university libraries.
How does CFC use innovative technology?
CFC leverages state-of-the-art technology through:
• One common online portal for federal employees, postal workers, active-
duty military, retirees, and contractors to use when giving to charity
through CFC (https://cfcgiving.opm.gov/welcome). This site allows:
o The ability to make multiple types of online gifts (payroll deduction,
credit, debit, and checks);
o The ability to search for charities and pledge hours of
volunteer time; and
o The ability of federal annuitants and military retirees to donate via a
deduction from their retirement pay.

• One common application site for all charities (https://cfccharities.opm. The National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) classification system

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 and
members of the uniformed services with a hand icon. You can search the
charities that offer volunteer opportunities. Please indicate the number of

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.
