CAMPAIGN DATES: JUNE 30, 2025 – JULY 4, 2025

This gratitude campaign toolkit from CHC: Creating Healthier Communities is designed for our nonprofit partners to share coordinated messages of thanks leading up to July 4th. It recognizes the generosity of federal and military employees who give through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)—one of the world’s largest workplace giving efforts. Past gratitude campaigns have been well received, and we encourage your participation again this year.

Since 1961, CFC donors have raised $8.76 billion for nonprofits nationwide. In 2024 alone, they pledged $68.25 million. The CFC continues to reflect the strength of our federal and military employees. While changes were implemented in the federal workforce this year, the latest campaign exceeded our projections—with total gift amount up and retiree participation growing notably. We remain optimistic about the CFC’s future and continue working closely with its leadership to ensure continued success. You can help by continuing to steward these donors.

Dear Friend,

As a valued part of the federal and military workforce, your impact goes far beyond your service. Through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), donors like you have helped raise more than $8.76 billion for thousands of nonprofits—supporting communities across the country and around the world.

That’s a legacy worth honoring.

CFC giving has provided meals and housing for families in need, supported medical care for veterans, funded cancer research, and fueled hope in places that need it most. The CFC doesn’t just make giving easy—it makes it powerful, trusted, and lasting. It’s an American tradition that shows the strength and integrity of our federal and military workforce.

As we go into the July 4th holiday, we salute not only your dedication to public service but your commitment to building a better future through generosity.

Thank you. We recognize you for all you do to for communities across the United States.

With deep appreciation,
