Consider donating during the Combined Federal Campaign

Because we are federal employees, letter carriers can make charitable donations through the world’s largest annual workplace giving program, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).

Pledges made by donors during the campaign season—Sept. 1 to Dec. 15—support through paycheck deductions eligible non-profit organizations chosen by the donor.

“Letter carriers are strong supporters of charitable work, and the CFC is a great way to give,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said.

Carriers can choose the charity or group of charities they want to support from a list of 2,063 eligible charities. An amount you choose will be deducted from your paycheck each pay period and automatically sent to each charity.

“If a lot of members give even a little bit,” Rolando said, “you can bet the organizations you support will notice, because the steady support of millions of CFC participants combined makes a huge impact on their ability to help people and do good things all through the year.”

All letter carriers can participate in the CFC. Rolando sent his annual reminder in September asking NALC members to contribute money through the CFC in addition to the other ways they support their communities.

“Throughout the year, we help our communities by collecting food, providing clothing, mentoring children and looking after those who are vulnerable,” Rolando wrote. “We must continue to be good citizens by involving ourselves in these and other community efforts. But, it should not end there. The Combined Federal Campaign gives us an easy way to contribute money through payroll deductions to the charities we care about.”

Rolando asked letter carriers to consider supporting three particular charities: the Postal Employees’ Relief Fund (PERF), the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), and United Way Worldwide.
