Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska -- Today marks the official start of the 2016 Combined Federal Campaign at Eielson Air Force Base.
Officially established on March 3, 1971 and with almost 200 CFC campaigns throughout the country and overseas, the CFC is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign which seeks to promote and support generosity through an employee-focused, cost-efficient, and effective program and that provides federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
Under this year’s themes, “Show Some Love!”, federal employees can make pledges to any of the 150 local Alaska charities or the over the more than 20,000 charities that were locally-approved across the country and which are listed in the CFC’s “Catalog of Caring.”
Eielson specifically seeks to focus on three goals in this year’s campaign:
1) Contact 100% of the 354FW personnel at Eielson AFB with the opportunity to give.
2) Encourage 18% participation from our 354FW military and civilian personnel.
3) Raise $75,000 from our base to support charitable organizations across the globe.
The opportunity to help deserving people and communities is limitless and possible on-line through two different systems: myPay and CFC Nexus. The myPay system is an easy, paper-free system for all full-time Department of Defense military and civilian employees.
If you want to set up a payroll pledge, it is strongly encouraged to use the myPay system. The CFC Nexus is for anyone who is not able to use myPay or chooses to make a credit card contribution. Paper pledge forms are also available.
