  5. WHAT IS CFC?Introduction and Background(PAGE 2 IN YOUR MANUAL The CFC Mission Statement… The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is to support and to promote philanthropy through a voluntary program that is employee-focused, cost-efficient and effective in providing all Federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.

  6. WHAT IS CFC?Introduction and Background(Page 2 in your manual) The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the ONLY AUTHORIZED SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES IN THE Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations. In 1961, President Kennedy, by Executive Order, directed that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) develop a once-a-year workplace campaign for all Federal employees, including the military services and the U.S. Postal Service. CFC was established as a “designation campaign” and offered donors the convenience of payroll deduction for their charitable contributions.

  7. WHAT IS CFC?Introduction and Background(PAGE 2 IN YOUR MANUAL • Participating charitable agencies must: • Apply annually for campaign inclusion • Demonstrate sound fiscal management to the LFCC • Exhibit high integrity of conduct • Serve the community as a human health and welfare organization • Donors may designate their donations, confident that the charity utilizes its resources properly and conducts its services with a high degree of competency.

  9. COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS(PAGE 4 IN YOUR MANUAL My CFC contribution is distributed to selected charitable organizations as determined by a committee or individual. The CFC and the United Way campaign are one-in-the-same When giving through the CFC my contribution supports every agency listed in the brochure. A major portion of my contribution goes for administrative expenses. A payroll deduction contribution continues forever. I am being pressured to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign. My office/agency does not participate in the Combined Federal Campaign.

  10. PREPARING TO MAKE “THE ASK”(PAGE 5 IN YOUR MANUAL) • EXPLAIN • LISTEN • ENCOURAGE • ASK • COMMUNICATE

  11. ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLYASKED QUESTIONS(PAGES 6-8 IN YOUR MANUAL) • I prefer to contribute directly to a charity. Why should I give my charitable contribution through the CFC? • Are contributions tax-deductible? • What are the CFC’s administrative costs and where does the money come from? • Why should I support a campaign that includes organizations I don’t like? • What does the percentage number listed with each agency mean? Why should my donations cover administrative costs? • Why are certain agencies listed in the CFC Brochure and others aren’t? And what if my agency of choice is not in the CFC Brochure – can I designate it? • What will happen to MY money? How can I be sure that certain agencies won’t get my money? • Why should I contribute through the CFC when I don’t use the services of any of the recipient charities? • What if I don’t designate my gift?
