Be the Face of Change
Show Some Love at
Dear Federal Colleagues:
Be the Face of Change!
The 2020 Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA) provides us
an opportunity to Show Some Love for causes that are important to us.
Thousands of organizations in the CFC look to us for support. They represent hundreds
of causes, from hunger and healthcare, to animal welfare and injustice, to education and
veterans.
Here are a few examples of the positive impact you can have locally, nationally and
internationally, when you join the CFC community:
?
$25 equips volunteer firefighters serving their community;
?
$58 covers one year of school fees and supplies for a child;
?
$200 trains a veteran to enter the civilian workforce.
This is our campaign and our story. Together we give, volunteer and engage to raise
critical funds for thousands of beneficiaries, whom we may never meet. When we help
those in need, we help write their story to success; and in turn, write the story of our own
philanthropic legacy.
There is no better time to Show Some Love, wherever you are. Visit to come
together and Be the Face of Change.
Thank you,
Vince Micone
Chairperson
Local Federal Coordinating Committee,
CFCNCA
Ann Van Houten
Vice Chairperson
Local Federal Coordinating Committee,
CFCNCA
P.S.: Keep this in mind ¨C legislation in 2020 may allow you to take a charitable deduction
regardless of itemizing or using the standard deduction. Please consult with your tax
advisor for qualifying charitable donations!
Colleagues,
I am thrilled once again to serve as the Honorary Chairperson for the Combined Federal
Campaign (CFC). Being part of the CFC takes my service as Director of the Peace Corps to
even greater heights, and provides me the opportunity to help those in need by joining
forces and combining efforts and generosity with all.
This year, I invite all members of the federal community ¨C wherever you are, if you are
working from home or back in your office ¨C to join the CFC community and Be the Face of
Change.
This year has challenged us all in unexpected ways, but the season of giving is a time
to reflect and remember our blessings too. Consider opening your heart and making a
pledge to help those less fortunate through the CFC. Federal employees, you¡¯re also invited
to donate your time with a pledge of volunteer hours. You can browse this catalogue
for numerous opportunities to engage and give back to our local, national, and global
communities.
People in need around the world are relying on our help now more than ever. Together, we
can make a difference. Give to a charitable cause you care about through the CFC now!
Thank you for your generosity and choosing to Show Some Love.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jody K. Olsen
Director, Peace Corps
2020 CFC Honorary Chairperson

COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN (CFC)
-
What is the CFC?
The CFC is the only authorized solicitation of all federal employees in their
workplaces, postal service employees, Active Duty military, retired members of the
military, and retired civilians on behalf of approved charitable organizations.
What is the mission of the CFC?
The CFC mission 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.
When did the CFC begin?
The Federal Government created the CFC in 1961 to coordinate the fund-raising
efforts of various charitable organizations. CFC solicits once-a-year contributions
in the workplace and provides employees, retirees, and others the opportunity to
make one-time or recurring charitable contributions through payroll deduction or
other means.
Federal employee giving makes CFC one of the largest and most successful workplace
philanthropic fundraisers in the world. Continuing a long-standing tradition, in
the 2019 campaign year, federal employees, postal workers, and members of the
uniformed services pledged more than $86 million to charitable causes. The pledge
total includes almost $83.5 million in financial pledges and the monetary value of
$2.9 million in commitments of volunteer time. The total also includes pledges made
during the April-June CFC Special Solicitation for COVID-19 victims.
Since its inception, federal employees have contributed more than $8.4 billion to
charities through CFC.
What is the structure of the CFC?
There are 36 campaign Zones in the CFC. Each Zone organizes the annual fundraising effort in the local federal workplaces, military installations, and post offices
in that jurisdiction or overseas.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulates the CFC and provides
guidance and oversight to the local campaigns.
A Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC) oversees the CFC in each Zone for
OPM. The LFCC members serve as a ¡°Board of Directors.¡± Federal employees, Active
Duty military, retirees, and representatives of Federal labor unions can make up
the membership of the LFCC. The LFCC ensures that campaign workers conduct the
CFC according to Federal regulations and policies. The LFCC also makes application
decisions on local charities.
The LFCC also supervises the local Outreach Coordinator (OC). That contractor is
hired by OPM to administer the CFC in the local Zone. The LFCC uses the OC to
implement the campaign plan, conduct marketing activities, arrange for special
events such as Charity Fairs, and educate charities and employees regarding the
program.
OPM also contracts with a charity to serve as the Central Campaign Administrator
(CCA). Currently, that organization is The Give Back Foundation. The CCA is the
organization responsible for developing and maintaining the CFC Donor Pledging
System (showsomelovecfc) and the Charity Application System
(cfccharities.), as well as making distributions to the charities you
designate in your pledges.
How is the CFC regulated?
?
?
The ability of campaign workers to track campaign progress with daily
updates of pledges
Both sites are smartphone friendly.
A CFC Giving Mobile App for Apple and Android devices allows a donor to
pledge on-the-go. The Mobile Giving App allows donors to find CFC events like
charity fairs, fund-raisers, and more. Donors can search for a charity and make
a one-time pledge using a bank account or credit card. The app also supports
Touch ID and Face ID for easy and secure access to your giving account.
Using the same log-on username and password integrates the rest of the
donor¡¯s desktop profile from cfcgiving. (such as the ZIP code for zone
integration and the Department, Agency, and Office profile).
How does CFC ensure public accountability?
OPM assures federal employees that CFC honors your designations and distributes
those funds to the charitable organizations you choose. OPM achieves this in
several ways:
1. OPM maintains eligibility and public accountability criteria that all participating
CFC charities must meet. For details, see CFC Regulations in 5 CFR Part 950 at
bined-federal-campaign/reference-materials/.
2. Every year, OPM makes final application decisions for all local, national, and
international charity applicants and resolves charity admission appeals.
3. OPM and federal contract rules set strict requirements and provide on-going
guidance for the activities and conduct of the CCA and the OCs. OPM verifies
the fiscal integrity of the campaign annually through compliance and financial
audits completed by the CCA, an independent CPA, or the OPM Inspector
General
What is the CFC Charity List?
The Charity List is a web-based and paper display of local, national, and international
organizations that have met CFC eligibility requirements. Key features include
the organization¡¯s five-digit CFC code, IRS Business Master File name (shown in
parentheses if it is ¡°doing business as¡± another name), a 25-word statement of
purpose, and its administrative and fund-raising expense rate (AFR).
Sample Charity Listing
11405 ABC Charity (Alpha-Charity) (800) 555-5555
EIN#123456789 ABC Charity attacks the causes of hunger and poverty by
promoting effective and innovative community-based solutions that create selfreliance, economic justice, and food security. 15.8%
What factors should I consider when choosing a charity?
Follow your heart and your head when selecting a charity. The EIN, AFR, and the
Service Categories are included to help you identify organizations that meet your
interests and performance standards.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues the Employer Identification Number
(EIN). You can use the EIN to obtain additional information about an organization
from the IRS. IRS data is at . Or you can use other sources
such as the Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator, GuideStar, or other charity
rating organizations. Please Note: You may find an organization¡¯s tax-exempt status
is under an umbrella organization (such as a parent organization or headquarters)
The CFC Regulations govern all aspects of the CFC. Executive Orders 12353 (external
link) and 12404 (external link) authorize the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
to prescribe rules and regulations to facilitate fund-raising on behalf of charitable
organizations through on-the-job solicitation of Federal employees and military
personnel, and to ensure that recipient agencies are responsible in the use of
the funds raised. CFC Regulations can be found in Title 5, Part 950 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (external link) maintained at most regional and university
libraries.
The Administrative and Fund-raising Rate (AFR) represents the percentage
of dollars spent on expenses other than services. The CFC calculates the AFR as
a percentage of the organization¡¯s total support and revenue. OPM¡¯s formula
for calculating the AFR is by adding the organization¡¯s management and general
expenses and fundraising expenses reported in the charity¡¯s IRS Form 990 and
dividing the total by the organization¡¯s total revenue. The IRS Form 990 is public
information and sometimes can be found on the charity¡¯s website or interested
donors may also request the tax return from the organization.
How does CFC use innovative technology?
Through an internet search, you may look up data tracked by industry oversight
organizations to understand better the financial status, service delivery record, and
governance policies of the charity before donating.
CFC leverages state-of-the-art technology through:
?
One common online portal for federal employees, postal workers, active-duty
military, retirees, and contractors to use when giving to charity through CFC
(showsomelovecfc). This site allows:
?
The ability to make multiple types of online gifts (payroll deduction, credit,
debit, and checks);
The ability to search for charities and pledge hours of volunteer time; and
The ability of federal annuitants and military retirees to donate via a
deduction from their retirement pay
One common application site for all charities ().
This site allows:
-
The ability of all charities (local, national and international) to submit annual
applications to CFC;
The ability for charities to track pledges and payments; and
The Service Categories (Taxonomy Codes) categorize the types of services that
most charitable organizations offer. Charities self-select up to three alpha-codes
(shown below) for inclusion in the CFC charity list. CFC assigns the category ¡°Z¡±
(Other) to charities that did not select at least one category.
The National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) classification system provides
26 top-level categories for charity services. This system, developed by the Johns
Hopkins University National Center for Charitable Statistics, is widely used in the
non-profit community.
SERVICE CATEGORIES (TAXONOMY)
A. Arts, Culture, and Humanities
B. Education
C. Environment
D. Animal-Related
E. Health Care
