3. History of the CFC Established by Executive Order in 1961, the CFC continues to be the largest and most successful annual workplace fundraising model in the world. In 1961, seeing a need to bring the diversity of fundraising efforts under one umbrella, Federal employees created the CFC – one campaign, once a year, each Fall. By allowing employees to select from a single guide and making their contributions through payroll deductions, the CFC opened the door to more opportunities for generosity by giving to literally thousands of worthy causes.
