Will the pandemic mark a turning point for feds’ charitable giving? – By Jessie Bur (Federal Times) / Mar 10 2021
Federal employees in the Washington, D.C., region raised millions more this year for charitable donations than the goals for 2020, the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area announced March 10.
The region had initially set a goal of $30 million raised through CFC during the 2020 season, and instead raised a total of $37.2 million in monetary contributions and almost 48,000 volunteer hours.
That number also beats out the region’s fundraising totals for 2019 and 2018, which each came in at $34.2 million.
“To have not only met and surpassed our goal, but to have raised more than we did in 2018 and 2019, shows how this caring community continues to shine bright even in the face of challenges and darkness,” said Ann Van Houten, co-chairperson of the CFCNCA.
