SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
A Brief History of the CFC The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) was established in 1961 by an Executive Order signed by President John F. Kennedy. Since that time, annual drives are held each September to December, providing federal employees the opportunity to pledge donations for the coming year. Participation in the campaign has grown and changed a great deal since its early days. This timeline illustrates a few milestones in the evolution of the CFC.
