The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign is to support and 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.
The CFC began in the early 1960s to coordinate the fundraising efforts of various charitable organizations so the federal donor would only be solicited once in the workplace and have the opportunity to make charitable contributions through payroll deduction. The CFC is the only authorized solicitation of federal employees in their workplaces on behalf of approved charitable organizations.
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 2006, federal employees raised more than $273 million dollars for charitable causes around the world.
The CFC is the largest single-employer charity campaign in the South Jersey area, which is home to more than 23,000 federal employees. During the 2009 Combined Federal Campaign, more than 4,000 employees contributed and raised $888,086 for charitable causes in our community, throughout the country and around the world.
