CFC 2024 Begins

The 2024 NIH Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) officially started on Sept. 1 and ends on Jan. 15. The Clinical Center (CC) is this year’s lead institute.

The CFC is the federal government’s largest workplace giving campaign, and an opportunity to support your favorite causes easily and efficiently. The campaign will hold a virtual kickoff event on Oct. 9 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., via NIH videocast at https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=55047.

Also mark your calendars for these upcoming CFC events. The first is the Virtual Fall Charity Fair and Costume Contest on Oct. 31, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=55048. Three charities will share about their missions and how your generous donations make a difference.

For the costume contest, costumes that include a CFC message will earn an extra point. The entry form can be found at https://cfc.nih.gov. All entry forms must be submitted by 4:00 p.m., Oct. 8.

The second event is the Directors Challenge Cornhole Tournament on Nov. 21 at 10:30 a.m. The in-person event will take place in the CC north atrium. Only IC Directors are invited to compete.

Every contribution makes a difference. This year’s theme is “Give Happy.” CC CEO Dr. James Gilman said, “It’s amazing to see how giving a little out of each paycheck or a few volunteer hours a month adds up to so much happiness.”
