Illowa CFC - Serving the Bi-State Area

This is the official Combined Federal Campaign website for the Western Illinois & Eastern Iowa CFC.

This site has been reviewed and approved by the Illowa Bi-state Local Federal Coordinating Committee for the 2008 CFC campaign.

The mission of the CFC is to support and to promote philanthropy through a voluntary program that is employee-focused, cost-efficient and effective in providing all Federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.

The charities you support through the CFC focus on people, animals and environments that really need help - including the hungry, homeless, sick, elderly, children and families in need. They may be your relatives, friends, neighbors or co-workers. They may be down the street, across the country or across the globe.

Our 2008 goal is $665,000 and
100% contact of all Federal and Postal employees

Total to Date: $696,575
Thank You For Your Generous Support!!!!
