INTRODUCING…
CFC UNIVERSAL GIVING
What is it? Universal Giving (UG) is a new donation option that
permits donors to pledge to any CFC participating charity no matter
where the donor or the charity is geographically located. Previously,
only National, International, and Local charities in our campaign
territory were available to receive donors’ contributions. Now, with
Universal Giving, all Local charities in all CFC regions are accessible
to donors. Thus for those donors who wish to stay involved with a
favored charity or charities outside the area, they may now do so
through UG.
For example, if you work in the State of Pennsylvania and you want
to donate to a Brooklyn, New York food pantry (and they are in the
CFC), with Universal Giving, this can now be achieved.
INTRODUCING…
CFC UNIVERSAL GIVING
How does Universal Giving work? The list of UG charities can only
be accessed online. UG charities are too numerous to be listed in the
paper charity listing. If you wish to donate to a local charity outside
our campaign territory, log in to any of our online giving tools at
www.cfc-eastpa-southnj.org to search for the charity you want to
support. Enter the charity’s five-digit code on your paper pledge
form or the online donation tool of your choice: CFC Nexus, CFC
Employee Express or MyPay, using your pc, phone or tablet. It’s that
easy!
