Event Description

Fundraising for charitable organization in the Federal workplace can be traced to the late 1940's. However, formal authority to permit fundraising in the Federal workplace was not established until 1961, when President Kennedy authorized the U.S. Civil Service Commission to develop guidelines and regulate fundraising in the Federal service. Established by the federal government in 1961, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the only authorized charitable fundraising campaign for federal employees, both civilian and military. Conducted by the federal government under the authority of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the CFC operates in more than 260 localities throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and in overseas military bases.
