The event will take place virtually.
“Over the first sixty years of the CFC, we’ve seen incredible change and impact made possible by our charity partners. Generous donations from federal employees and retirees to tens of thousands of charities have made this possible,” said Ann Van Houten, CFCNCA Co-Chairperson. “We celebrate the difference we’ve made together, and honor the relationship we have with charities. We hope they – and new charity participants – will apply to join us as changemakers for the 2022 campaign.”
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has opened the 2022 Combined Federal Campaign charity application system. The deadlines to apply are: early, by Jan. 31, 2022, and Feb. 28, 2022, as a late submission with an additional assessed late application fee.

Vince Micone, Co-Chairperson, said, “Charity participants are what make our CFC so successful. They represent thousands of causes that are important to each of us. The CFC provides us an opportunity to do something. Through our contributions and voluntary service, we partner with charities to ‘Be the Face of Change.’ It’s important to recognize the sixty years of partnership between federal employees and charities through the CFC. We have much work to do in the next sixty years!”
