3. Background Information

4. ePledge Overview MyPay ePledge allows military and civilian personnel to establish a CFC allotment within the CFC open season ePledge was available to personnel in 89 of the 163 campaign regions in 2013. Due to mergers, this is reduced to 85 regions in 2014. ePledge development was modeled on the Employee Express (EEX) electronic giving system but had some key differences CFC did not add additional campaigns to e-Giving lists in 2014 except through mergers (Fort Sill is a major installation included this year due to a merger.)

5. ePledge Initiative The 2.5 million military and civilian personnel within the DoD make up about 25 percent of the Federal workforce Making CFC donations via electronic payroll deduction was previously not an option in the DoD Teams from DFAS, OPM, and VCMO created the first paperless payroll deduction giving for DoD personnel
