Accessing Your CFC Pledge Reports

● Beginning with the 2017 campaign, participating CFC charities may access their pledge data online. This information may be found at https://cfccharities.opm.gov/ , the same site where charity CFC application materials were submitted. CFC nonprofits that are federation members should reach out to their federation for guidance and assistance in this process.

● Participating CFC nonprofits may view pledges received to date by clicking on the link for its charity within the charity portal.

● On its charity landing page, the nonprofit will see a summary of both the total pledges received as well as the total number of pledges received. Click on the View icon for further pledge details, including total pledges, recurring pledges, one-time pledges, volunteer hours and pledges by CFC campaign zone.

We invite your organization to plunge right into our social media channels and start connecting.
