Combined Federal Campaign Mission

Welcome Back to the soldiers and airmen who have returned from serving our country overseas! Thank you for your service!

The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is to support and to promote philanthropy through a program that is employee-focused, cost-efficient and effective in providing all Federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.

Begun in the 1960s by Executive Order, the CFC continues to be the world's largest and most successful annual workplace giving campaign. Each year, more than 250 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally help to raise millions of dollars. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season (September 20th to December 15th in 2011) support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world. The Director of OPM has designated to the OCFCO responsibility for day-to-day management of the CFC.

The 50th Combined Federal Campaign pledge drive brought in the second highest dollar amount ever for the South Puget Sound, but the campaign isn’t just about the money. For those involved most closely, the CFC was about a spirit of service and connecting to the community, and a way of reminding people of what really matters when times are tough. READ MORE
