CFC’s Online Giving Grows, But Total Revenue Dips
April 13, 2021
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. It’s the fourth year in a row that CFC donors had the option to pledge online and gave $70 million; that’s up from $64.3 million, or 79% of overall pledges in 2019.
Monetary contributions were up slightly, from $80.95 million in 2019 to $81.6 million, while volunteer time dipped from $2.85 million (121,000 hours pledges) to $2.5 million (86,700 hours).

The emergency leave transfer program enables employees in the executive and judicial branches to donate their unused time off to leave banks, which can then be distributed to those impacted by the storm.

Former EPA administrators told the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Congress could set specific guidelines into law that might better manage transparency and integrity standards at all scientific agencies throughout any administration.
