Mission
The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign, (CFC) is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee-focused, cost-efficient and effective in providing all Federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.

Background
Established by the federal government in 1961, the CFC is the only charitable fundraising campaign authorized for federal employees and members of the uniformed services within their respective work areas. Under authority of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 264 regional CFC programs are operated throughout the United States, and in overseas military bases. The National CFC Regional authority is delegated to a Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC) to manage each CFC locally. The LFCC consists of resident federal officials, employees, and uniformed services members, who collectively provide local policy and oversight to the Regional CFC. One very critical LFCC responsibility is to annually select a Principal Combined Fund Organization (PCFO) to market and conduct the CFC, and to provide fiscal accountability for the collection and distribution of all monetary contributions.

How is the Local CFC Organized?
The CFC of Northeast Florida - Southeast Georgia encompasses a 30-county region with over 42,000 federal employees and military members. Counties included in this region are:

Applicant organizations must meet the eligibility and public accountability standards detailed in the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 5, Chapter 950.
