On March 18, 1961 John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10927 that would create the Combined Federal Campaign. In the 50 years that followed, thanks to the generosity of Federal Employees, the CFC has raised almost $7 billion for charitable organizations. During this time, the CFC has grown to be the most inclusive workplace giving campaign in the world. Today, it is estimated that more than 20,000 charities, worldwide, participate.

     CFC has evolved into a program that offers the most efficient way to raise maximum dollars at minimal cost for charities. Because of the CFC, we now have a powerful, effective vehicle that gives us an opportunity to make meaningful changes in the lives of those in need, the communities we live in, and the world at large.

     After 50 years, it's time to celebrate this success and thank you for your continued support. We hope you will take the opportunity to continue as a supporter into this historic year. All year long we will be recognizing the significant efforts made by federal employees through the CFC.  Come be a part of history, and continue to help us make a difference to those that need it most.
