What is the CFD?
The Charitable Fund Drive (CFD) is an annual, combined charitable giving campaign tailored to meet the needs and wishes of employees of the State of Oregon. This campaign helps State employees create the future each of you want to see become reality in Oregon. Whether you want to help alleviate hunger, preserve the Columbia River Gorge, eliminate discrimination, prevent child abuse, cure deadly diseases, accomplish almost any goal you can imagine – there is a nonprofit working to see these ideas become reality. You can support any of hundreds of nonprofit groups or issues through the CFD by making just one charitable gift. Oregon´s CFD was implemented in 1989 as a way to offer access to this wide range of charities through an easy, once-a-year campaign that gives state employees precise control over where their contributions are spent. Last year, state employees contributed over $1,15,683 to the CFD.
The Combined Fund Drive (CFD) is the state’s workplace giving campaign which provides faculty and staff the opportunity to give to their favorite charities through payroll deduction or a one-time gift. Established in 1984, the CFD offers convenience, choice, and confidentiality. Employees can support the causes they are most passionate about by choosing from over 2,600 charities in the official state charity guide or by suggesting their own. UW employees generously contributed more than $1.83 million last year to local, national, and international charities supporting programs in the arts, environment, health, education, disaster relief, and human services. The CFD is allowed by state law to deduct reasonable administrative costs* from the campaign contributions to run the campaign (WAC 357-55). Administrative costs pay for: • Volunteer coordinator training and recognition. • Printing of campaign materials, development of the CFD video, postage, supplies. • Technology support. • Staff
