Combined Federal Campaign

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the largest workplace giving campaign in the world. Across the United States, federal employees give more than $40 million to Community Health Charities and the charities we help fund. Here in Iowa, federal employees pledged over $114,500 thousand in 2008!

When making any contribution, Community Health Charities encourages you to pay careful attention to the percentage noted for each organization’s Administrative and Fundraising Ratio (AFR). In prior years, charities could not participate in the Combined Federal Campaign unless their AFR to revenue ratio was under 25% or they had a plan in place to achieve this number. Changes in regulations have removed this requirement, yet Community Health Charities has kept an AFR of 25% or lower as part of our membership qualifications.
