The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) raised almost $83.6 million during the 2020 campaign, including $2 million in volunteer time, with 86% of overall pledges made online. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced results in March.
The results are on par with the $83.8 million raised during the 2019 campaign. Federal employees pledged more than 86,700 hours of volunteer service at CFC-approved charities.
