Many companies have matching gift programs that will double, or even triple, charitable contributions made by employees. Maximize the impact of your dollars by finding out if your employer matches charitable gifts. Questions? Contact us at giving@polarisproject.org or by phone at 202-790-6300.

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the annual workplace giving program for federal employees. Each year, federal employees and military personnel raise millions of dollars for charity by choosing to donate a portion of their salary. If you or someone you know works for the federal government, please consider making a donation to Polaris through the CFC.

During the enrollment period of September-December, federal employees are provided with a pledge card or web address to indicate the charity they are interested in supporting. Simply designate Polaris by including our CFC #97210 and EIN #03-0391561.
