What does CFC mean in MILITARY

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is an annual fundraising program conducted in workplaces throughout the US federal government. It provides federal employees with the opportunity to donate to causes of their choice and help improve communities worldwide.

CFC works by facilitating donations from federal civil service employees. Each employee can select one or more charities meeting specific criteria, and contributions are then deducted from their paychecks on a pre-approved basis over the course of a year.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) serves as the overseer and administrator of the CFC program. Its Civil Service Giving Portal ensures compliance with OPM rules and regulations within the campaign, while ensuring that donated funds are distributed to qualified charitable organizations in a responsible manner.

Donations can be made through payroll deduction throughout the year, or all at once via one-time payments such as credit cards or bank transfers. Employees should contact their designated Human Resources office for assistance regarding specific donation methods available at their workplace, as well as if they have any questions related to making donations through CFC.

Once donations have been processed they cannot be refunded but changes can still be made where necessary.

Yes you are able to use FSA funds for eligible donations under IRS guidelines such as certified medical expenses or costs incurred for hospital care services when recommended by a physician or dentist etc., but unfortunately these cannot be used for charitable contributions at this time.
