My Fellow Federal Employees,
Thank you for participating in our 2016 Combined Federal Campaign! Every year, we join together and Show Some Love through our commitment to supporting charities in their important work providing comfort for our friends and neighbors in need. We pledge our aid to people and organizations in our neighborhoods and around the world that need our help.
We federal employees make an important contribution to our local charities through the Combined Federal Campaign. No matter where your interests lie, whether it’s finding a cure for a terrible disease, feeding and sheltering animals, protecting rainforests, caring for our veterans, or helping victims of domestic violence, there are charities that provide those services in our campaign. Together, we continue to support organizations that enable people to qualify for jobs, protect civil rights, have safe drinking water, and develop artistic genius. We make a difference.
Electronic pledging, whether through myPay, Employee Express, or CFC Nexus, ensures that your contributions reach the charity of your choice, expedites the pledging process, and reduces the environmental impact of paper pledging. It’s confidential, accurate, and secure. The hardest part of making your pledge is deciding what charities you will support.
Donating through payroll deduction enables you to provide a continuous funding stream to your chosen organizations, and makes it easy to support positive changes in the world every time you get paid, without fail. Together, we Show Some Love.
Thank you for being part of this year’s campaign.
Sincerely,
Lisa Makosewski

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the only authorized solicitation of Federal employees in their workplaces on behalf of approved charitable organizations.
The CFC was created in 1961 to coordinate the fundraising efforts of various charitable organizations so that the Federal donor would only be solicited once in the workplace and have the opportunity to make charitable contributions through payroll deduction.
Federal employees continue to make the CFC the largest and most successful workplace philanthropic fundraiser in the world. Continuing a long-standing tradition of selfless giving, in 2014, Federal employees raised more than $209 million for charitable causes around the world.
