ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas (CFC-O), the annual workplace giving campaign for the five overseas unified combatant commands, will kick off Sept. 21. The campaign, which closes Nov. 20, provides uniformed and civilian Department of Defense (DOD) employees serving overseas with an opportunity to extend their service by giving to their favorite charities.
The theme of the 2015 CFC-O is “give because you care.” This theme underscores the importance of passion in charitable giving. This is especially fitting for the CFC-O because, with more than 2,600 national and international charities in the CFC-O charity listing, contributors are sure to find a cause that is close to their hearts.
Furthermore, for the second consecutive year, the Office of Personnel Management has authorized Universal Giving, which expands contributors’ giving options to pledge to any of the CFC local charities across the United States. The complete, searchable charity list is available online at cfcoverseas.org.
Contributors also have the option to give to the overseas military community through the Family Support and Youth Program (FSYP) fund. FSYP donations are returned to overseas military installations and invested in quality of life programs for uniformed service members, Federal civilians and their families.
Pledging through the CFC-O gives those serving overseas a chance to extend their service and touch the lives of people in military communities, across the nation and around the world. Charities depend upon the generosity of CFC-O contributors to give help and hope to those in need, so please plan to participate in this year’s campaign. Remember, every gift, large or small, makes a difference.
About the CFC-O
Dedicated uniformed and civilian personnel demonstrate their generosity each and every day with service to our country and by joining together to help people and communities in need through the Department of Defense Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas. The CFC-O, administered by Global Impact, is one of the most successful charitable workplace giving campaigns in the world. The five overseas unified combatant commands pledged more than $8 million in 2014 to reach out with life-saving and life-enriching services benefiting millions of people.
