Secretary Arne Duncan Encourages Giving

GIVE THROUGH THE
COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA

Federal employees in the DC area pledged nearly
$50 million towards the $67.2 million goal

The 50th annual Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA) is in full swing during this busy holiday season. The campaign helps tens of thousands of people in local communities, across the nation and around the world through more than 4,100 charities.

“I recently had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with people whose lives were changed by the generosity of Federal employees,” stated Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education and National Honorary Chair of the Combined Federal Campaign. “On their behalf, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Federal workforce for its astounding contributions over the past 50 years.”  

The CFCNCA is the workplace giving drive for Federal employees in the DC metro area. To date, Federal employees pledged nearly 75 percent of the $67.2 million goal. 

“If you have not yet pledged your support, I urge you to do so,” stated Secretary Duncan. “There is still time to make this holiday season special by donating through the Combined Federal Campaign.”

The CFCNCA solicitation period ends on December 31, 2011. Federal employees will find more than 4,100 charities in the online searchable database. Gifts are accepted by payroll deduction, credit card, debit card, e-check, cash or check. Make your pledge today.
