HUMAN & CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS OF AMERICA

Charities such as those with which we work make a difference in communities every year. We support member groups so that they can raise funds from federal employees. With these funds, which are unrestricted, our members can have a greater impact year after year. Our goals are to expand the community of charities we support and increase their success in the U.S. Combined Federal Campaign.

We seek to educate charities on what they need to do to qualify for participation in the U.S. Combined Federal Campaign and to help donors within the CFC understand the importance of the work of our member charities. We hope to improve our educational materials every year and to ensure that the charities that do apply to the CFC meet the criteria of this important federal program.

Our organization collaborates with a number of similar organizations to share staff and other resources that allow us to assist member charities in their preparation of applications, to screen the applications to ensure compliance with federal admission criteria, educate potential donors, and transfer donations. Collectively, this family of organizations is called the Workplace Giving Alliance.

We are pleased that our organization has become an established participant in the U.S. Combined Federal Campaign and that OPM accepts most if not all of our recommendations regarding admission each year. We seek to increase our membership annually.
