The mission of the CFC is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient, and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
CFC is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with more than 300 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally to raise millions of dollars each year. The Director of the U. S. Office of Personnel Management has designated to the Office of CFC Operations responsibility for day-to-day management of the CFC.
OPEDA has taken the lead for all employee organizations in raising funds for the Annual CFC fund raising drive in USDA. OPEDA conducts the Annual International Bazaar each November in conjunction with other employee organizations and USDA agencies.
For the past three years, OPEDA has received special recognition for its fund-raising efforts at an awards luncheon held in The Secretary's Dining Room. For more on this program information visit www.opm.gov/CFC
