Overview of Heartland Combined Federal Campaign

The Heartland CFC reaches out to over 45,000 Federal & Postal employees at more than 800 locations throughout Kansas & Western Missouri. 

The Federal Government is the largest employer in the Kansas City area. Heartland CFC also serves employees in Fort Riley, Topeka, Salina and 91 counties in Kansas, as well as 15 counties on in Missouri.  

Last year alone the local federal employees donated more than $3,560,000 to their favorite Local, National & International charities.

The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is to support and to promote 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. Conducted by the federal government under the authority of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the CFC operates in more than 280 localities throughout the United States , Puerto Rico , the U.S. Virgin Islands, and in overseas military bases. This is the only authorized fundraising entity for federal government employees. CFC continues to be the largest and most successful workplace fundraising model in the world, raising over $260 million in 2006 for thousands of local, national, and international charitable agencies.

All decisions regarding the inclusion of agencies in a local CFC campaigns rest with the local CFC Board of Directors, called the Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC). The Board of Directors is composed of Federal employees and representatives of labor unions with Federal employees as members. Every year, the local Board of Directors selects one of the voluntary organizations involved in the CFC to manage the campaign and serve as fiscal agent. This agency, called the Principal Combined Fund Organization (PCFO), manages the CFC. OPM sets strict requirements for this role, including annual audits of the PCFO by an independent CPA. The current PCFO of the Heartland Combined Federal Campaign is Heart of America United Way.

Donations through CFC can be designated to charitable agencies that provide meals for hungry children, relief for families in need of counseling, further work on cures for diseases, comfort for the dying, access to water in the Third World , environmental protection, and better lives and renewed hope for millions of people in our global community. CFC offers federal employees a way to easily and conveniently make a contribution to the good of society as a whole based on their own values.

The Heartland Combined Federal Campaign works directly with the Greater Kansas City Federal Executive Board and boasts a volunteer base of over 1000 individuals.
