REF B IS A MEMO FOR HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES// RMKS/1. References (a) and (b) announce that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management has opened a special solicitation to help the victims of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic via the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) pledge system. This special solicitation is the direct result of many Department of Defense personnel inquiring how they can help relief efforts as private citizens. This special solicitation will remain open through 30 June 2020. 2. The CFC is uniquely positioned to supplement the Federal governments overall response by allowing employees to pledge additional resources to already vetted charities and to those that are actively responding to various community needs because of the COVID-19 outbreak. This special solicitation provides an opportunity for Federal employees and members of the military to create a new gift to support their favorite CFC-participating charities (only those charities accepted in 2019) online or through the CFC mobile giving app. The CFC online donation portal-giving app is located at https://cfcgiving.opm.gov. 3. As with the annual CFC campaign, the most important objective is to ensure that every Federal employee, Sailor, and Marine is notified of the CFC special solicitation. As such, I expect command leadership to be actively engage in notifying their employees, Sailors, and Marines of the opportunity to donate in support of the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic via the CFC pledge system. 4. If you have any questions, please e-mail at cfc@opm.gov or call (202) 606 -2564. In addition, you may contact the DON Charitable Campaigns Programs Manager, Ms. Min Cox at (703) 571-7059, min.cox@navy.mil. 5. Released by the Honorable Kenneth J. Braithwaite, Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
