The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) 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.

Conducted by the federal government under the authority of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the CFC operates in more than 340 localities throughout the United States , Puerto Rico , the U.S. Virgin Islands, and in overseas military bases. This is the only authorized fundraising entity for federal government employees. CFC continues to be the largest and most successful workplace fundraising model in the world, raising over $250 million in 2004 for thousands of local, national, and international charitable agencies.

Pledges made by Federal and Military employees during the campaign season support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world. To be eligible to participate in the CFC each charity must be designated as a tax-exempt non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. "

To date the VFW Foundation has received more than $505,000 from CFC campaigns. Make your pledge to the VFW Foundation #10511.
