Dear Fellow Federal Employees,
Thank you for participating in the 2015 Combined Federal Campaign!
Each year, federal employees from throughout the country and around the world make the decision to support their friends and neighbors both at home and abroad through donating to charities that meet their needs.
Pledging online 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.
Donating through payroll deduction is an employee benefit that enables you to support charities without missing the deduction from your paycheck.
It’s also better for the charities you support because they have a guaranteed income to work with, instead of relying on occasional donations.
Federal employees make an important contribution to our local charities through the Combined Federal Campaign.
No matter where your interests lie, whether it’s medical research, animal shelters, preserving nature, supporting veterans or bringing hope to those in prison, there are charities that provide those services in our campaign.
Together, we continue to support organizations that end homelessness, feed the hungry, educate children and end bullying. We spread love.
Thank you for being a part of this year’s campaign. Together, we can change a life.
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.
