ONLINE GIVING

 What is it? Universal Giving (UG) is a donation option that permits donors to pledge to any CFC-participating charity no matter where the donor or the charity is geographically located. Previously, only National, International, and Local charities in our campaigns territory were available to receive donors’ contributions. Now, with Universal Giving, all Local charities in all CFC regions are accessible to donors. Thus for those donors who wish to stay involved with a favored charity or charities outside the area, they may now do so through UG.  How does Universal Giving work? The list of UG charities can only be accessed online. UG charities are too numerous to be listed in this paper charity listing. If you wish to donate to a local charity outside our campaign territory, log in to any of our online giving tools at to search for the charity you want to support. Enter the charity’s five-digit code on your paper pledge form or the online donation tool of your choice: CFC Nexus, CFC Employee Express, MyPay, your phone or tablet. It’s that easy!
