Combined Federal CampaignCombined Federal Campaign Logo

New Jersey employees participate in the Northern New Jersey Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). CFC is an easy way to participate in your favorite charitable cause, because your donation is deducted from your check each pay period. CFC pledges are made one year at a time; employees must renew their participation each year to continue as a CFC contributor. And if you make a pledge and find that you can't continue, you can change your payroll deduction anytime.

Contact NJ CFC coordinator Fred Kelly for more information.

The Annual Combined Federal Campaign is Here for 2007!

October 20, 2007 - The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the Federal employee's best opportunity to give charitable contributions to worthwhile organizations. The opportunities to give are nearly limitless, from helping feed children anywhere in the world, to providing assistance pets for disabled, to preserving open space, to fighting diseases. Any cause that matters to you, it's part of the CFC!

It's amazing how much good can be done, how many less-fortunate people can be helped, with just nominal contributions.

  • Just 10 dollars per pay period (a dollar a day) can buy 5 dozen chicks for egg production in the Caribbean, or provide 5 wigs for children undergoing chemotherapy.
  • Just 20 dollars per pay period can teach 20 new parents about early childhood development or provide fishing nets and juvenile fish to start a fish farming operation in the Bolivian Andes
  • Just 25 dollars a pay period can give over 260 children nutritious food assistance for a month or supply 125 warm blankets for a refugee family somewhere in the world.

Part of the beauty of the CFC is the payroll deduction feature. You designate an amount per pay period be deducted; you don't even have to cut a check for a lump sum.

Every office will receive a copy of the 2007 Agency Brochure which lists all of the eligible organizations to share. Pledge forms will be sent out as well. Completed pledge forms should be returned to Fred Kelly in the Somerset State office as soon as possible. Fred would like to have the New Jersey campaign completed by November 30, so don't put it off! If you plan to participate in the CFC this year, why not fill out your form today! 

Contact Fred Kelly (732-537-6053) with any questions you have about CFC.
