Hello, all, I got picked to be my department's key captain for CFC (Combined Federal Campaign ) this year. (Yes, I'm thrilled.) I was looking through the catalog and noticed that Equality Now isn't listed as one of the eligible charities. Does anyone know why not? I looked through the application form and I can't see any reason why Equality Now would not be eligible; maybe they never applied? There are a fair number of Browncoats in the federal civilian, military, or postal services who could donate via CFC's payroll deduction and it seems a shame to miss out on all those dollars every year! How can we make this happen? |

Oh, thank goodness! I don't know why I couldn't find y'all on the PDF. Yeay! Now I don't have to look for a new charity. Federal Browncoats: I wish there was a way we could add CFC donations to our annual CSTS totals. Federal employees donate a LOT of money through CFC (this year's goal is $64 million) and Federal employee Browncoats (there are a number of us) could make quite a showing, especially because most of us will donate using pre-tax payroll deduction. I just can't think of a way to track it--other than asking people to e-mail in the amount they've donated to EN for 2009 or 2010. What we need is a CSTS Key Worker.... Well, in the meanwhile, it can't hurt to remind all your federal employee Browncoat friends and neighbors to think about donating to Equality Now via CFC! Even $5 per pay period x 26 pay periods is $130 in 2010 from a single civilian federal employee. CFC is only available to employees of federal institutions (I can't remember if it's open to contractors or not; it may be), postal workers, and all military employees. There are a fair number of Browncoats in this group! So, spread the word! I'll start with the NoVa Browncoats--half our number work for federal institutions. |
