Kennedy signed an Executive Order authorizing federal employees and members of the uniformed services to support and facilitate fundraising on behalf of voluntary agencies through on-the-job solicitations. Implementation of the Executive Order formed the annual Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), vetting and approving eligible voluntary agencies to participate. This year, CFC celebrates its 61st anniversary. Since its inception, federal employees and military personnel have donated more than $8.6 billion dollars through the CFC, supporting thousands of worthy causes. 2. References (a) and (b) announced the start of the 2022 annual CFC, which will run through 14 January 2023. The most important objective of this annual campaign is to ensure federal employees, Sailors, and Marines are aware of the CFC and are given the opportunity to donate to their favorite non-profit charity, regardless of their location. As we press on from the challenges of the past year and meet new challenges in 2023, the Department of the Navy (DON) must remain steadfast in our support to CFC. I encourage DON leadership's commitment to all CFC efforts in and around your installations to maximize the campaign's objectives. Additionally, I expect our leadership to encourage talented, enthusiastic, and energetic personnel to serve in CFC roles, such as Loaned Executives, Keyworkers, Coordinators, Campaign Managers, and as members of the Local Federal Coordinating Committee, to ensure another successful campaign season. The DON can perform this mission safely while still helping others in need. 3. Thanks to the generosity of our DON employees, CFC remains a vital supporter of non-profit organizations within our communities. With your ardent support in 2022, this campaign will continue to provide the DON with the opportunity to "build on this enduring legacy" making a continuous positive difference. "You Can Be the Face of Change." 4. References (c) and (d) along with additional information and resources are available through https://givecfc.org/. OPM has awarded contracts to provide marketing and administrative support for the CFC. Installations will be contacted to coordinate training and plan awareness events.
