FAQs
Q: I am a current CFC donor and would like to continue my pledge into the next year. Do I have to complete a new pledge form?
A: Yes. CFC payroll deduction allotments cover the first pay period that begins in the calendar year and ends with the last pay period that begins in that same year. Charities that participate in the CFC must submit annual applications demonstrating continued compliance with the CFC regulations. Due to changes in charity participation, donors must complete a new pledge form each year to indicate the charities to which they wish to designate a contribution.
Q: Can I contribute to PERF by payroll deduction at any time during the year?
A: No, only during the official CFC Open Season, as designated by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for payroll deduction. Click on “Donate to PERF” if you want to make a cash donation now.

A: The United States Postal Service federal employees are the major contributors.
