After
determining your gift amount choose among these options:
1. Civilian & Postal Employees: Check or fill in the amount to be deducted each pay period (minimum is $1 per pay period). Multiply the pay period amount by 26 to calculate the total gift.
2. Military Employees: Check or fill in the amount to be deducted each pay period (minimum $2 per pay period). Multiply the pay period amount by 12 to calculate the total gift.
3. When pledging a gift by payroll deduction, check the amount to be deducted in the appropriate column and sign to authorize the payroll office to make the deduction.
The payroll deduction program provides a convenient method of giving for federal employees. Contributions have increased over the past several years because more federal employees take advantage of this program.
Payroll deduction is a term allotment for one full year. During this period, 12 or 26 deductions (depending on your employer) are made. The deductions begin with the first pay period in January and end with the last pay period in December.
1. Cash / Check Gifts: Fill in the annual total amount. Please make checks payable to: CFC. Please provide a daytime phone number in case the CFC auditors have a question concerning your pledge form.
2. Using the Recognition Options box, you must indicate whether you want your name and address/e-mail released to the charity or charities designated on your pledge form.
3. Write the total annual amount designated to the organization in the box following the charity five-digit code number found in the Charity List. The sum of the designated gifts must equal the total amount of the contribution.
4. You can make the choice to receive, or not receive, the incentive item that you qualify for based on the predetermined giving level by circling yes or no as indicated.
Any human service charity listed in the Charity List is eligible for contributions. The Internal Revenue Service recognizes all of these charities and federations as tax exempt under U.S.C. 501 (C) (3). Please take a few moments to review the listing. If you would like more information on any organization, please contact your employee campaign chair or the charity directly. You have several options for designating where your contribution goes. You may select one or more charities and/or federations. A maximum of five charities may be selected on each pledge form. If more than five charities are desired, an additional pledge form(s) should be attached to the original.
After deciding upon your designation(s), clearly identify the charities and/or federations and the gift amount on the CFC pledge form. CFC will distribute your contribution accordingly.
You may only make designations to charities and federations listed in the Charity List. Write-ins are prohibited and nullify your designation.
