The annual Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area is accepting monetary donations and volunteer hours from federal employees until Friday, Jan. 12.
CFC National Capital Area (CFCNCA) Chair Vince Micone joins Federal Times Live to chat about this year's campaign, the extended deadline and new ways to give.
The Combined Federal Campaign provides federal employees and retirees — civilian and military — the opportunity to support causes they care about, like veterans services, through one-time gifts, recurring donations, and volunteerism.
With declining donations year-over-year and a late start, the 2017 Combined Federal Campaign has a tough road ahead. That hasn’t put a damper on the spirit of this year’s honorary chair, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who believes strongly in Americans’ charitable nature – particularly that of federal employees.
The 2017 Combined Federal Campaign got a late start, but the annual charitable donation drive for federal employees will hit the ground running in October.
