Combined Federal Campaign kicks off Monday

The Combined Federal Campaign is one of the world’s largest and most successful workplace fundraising campaigns. Offering the convenience and the assurance of accountability, CFC is one of the best ways for you to support the charity (or charities) you feel strongly about. Through CFC, all federal personnel have the option to give to charities during this special fundraising campaign.

By collectively giving, federal employees are tremendously impacting our local cities, our nation and the world in an overwhelmingly positive way. Charity guides and pledge forms are available in both printed and electronic formats so you may designate your donation in support of your favorite organization(s).

This year’s CFC begins Oct. 30 and runs through Dec. 15.

• With the new CFC changes, not only can you contribute financially, but now you can volunteer time to make a hands-on difference in our community. This is our chance to come together, show the community we care, and have some fun, too! Our Zone, Oklahoma and North Texas CFC Zone 016, includes Central Oklahoma, Green Country, North Texas and Jackson County, OK Amarillo Area and 54 counties not previously covered by a CFC. You will be able to choose among thousands of local, national and international charitable organizations.

• Beginning Oct.30, you may now submit your pledge online through http://www.oklahomanorthtexascfc.org/, but paper copy forms will be distributed and received by your unit POC for those who prefer a physical submission.

• When you submit via the above site, you will need to create an account in order to donate. This process only takes a few minutes. While it is not mandatory, it would be highly appreciated if you would give a copy of this form (that has your SSN blacked out) to your POC for tracking donations.

• Payroll deductions are available via the site. Members will select payroll as their pledge method and then insert their SSN. They must give a minimum of $1 per pay period.
