premises (contractors, credit union) may make
voluntary unsolicited contributions

of CFC;

contractors or other non-DoD sources

About CFC
• 51st Anniversary
• Instituted by President John F. Kennedy in order
to coordinate fundraising efforts so the federal
donor would only be solicited on an annual basis
and offered the opportunity to give by payroll
deduction.
• In 2010, over $281.5 million was pledged to CFC
worldwide by federal employees.
