The CFC has been around more than 45 years and has a proven track record for efficiency. Its mission 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. You can use it when giving a one-time gift or use the payroll deduction method. Payroll deduction has many advantages. It is:

Efficient: Workplace giving campaigns are the most cost-effective method to raise funds for charity, which means more of your dollars go toward important programs and help keep charities overhead costs low.

Easy: Donors find workplace giving a simple, convenient way to support the charities they care about.

Consistent:  Donations collected through payroll giving are paid to the charities throughout the year.  This consistency allows charities to allocate resources, qualify for grant funding, and implement their programs to the highest extent.
