Why do CFC charities now have five digit codes?
In 2007, all participating CFC charities received a new five-digit CFC code assigned by OPM. Pledges made using the former four-digit codes cannot be honored. OPM assigned these new codes to each participating charity in order to improve efficiencies in the campaign. The FIVE-DIGIT CFC CODE is entered on your pledge form to designate the charities of your choosing.
