Thanks to their spirit of generosity and public service, Federal, postal, and military personnel pledged $70.1 million of money and time to local, national, and international charities during the 2023 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). This represents monetary contributions of $68 million from more than 75,300 employees, retirees, and contractors. The amount pledged is down 3.6 percent.
- The value of more than 83,000 volunteer hours added $2 million to this total. This value is on par with the 2022 total as volunteering held steady now that people are helping in the post-pandemic recovery.
- Contributions by civilian and military retirees bolstered CFC results. More than 4,100 retirees contributed $5.1 million of this total, up 20 percent from the 2022 campaign. Giving through CFC by retirees and annuitants accounts for 7.6 percent of total monetary pledges.
- The percent of CFC pledges made via the e-Giving system or other mobile payment options exceeded 95 percent once again. This is up from 84 percent in the 2019 campaign year (before the pandemic).
- Employee pledges made on traditional paper forms are now at the lowest total dollar value since the systems came online in 2017.
- CFC is now sending funds monthly to more than 4,400 charities designated by Federal employees, retirees, and contractors. More than 95 percent of the organizations listed received designated pledges from CFC donors.
Since its inception, the CFC program has raised more than $8.76 billion in pledges to local, national, and international charities.
