Federal Retirees

After your years of public service, Federal retirees like you may want to continue giving back to their community, country, and people around the world. The great news is, you can continue to make a positive impact by giving through your annuity. Whether you are returning or pledging for the first time, participation in the CFC is a great way to extend that spirit of service. In fact, Federal and military retirees contributed more than $4.2 million in 2022, making up 6% of overall donations.

Planning to Retire?

Are you planning to retire from the Federal government this year? Here's what happens to your CFC pledge:

  • Existing recurring pledge: If you have an existing CFC Online Giving System account and pledged via credit/debit card or bank account, you don't have to do anything. Great news, your pledge will continue for the rest of the calendar year!
  • Existing payroll deduction: If you pledged via payroll deduction, log in to your CFC Online Giving System account and change your profile status to "retiree" and your pledge source to "annuity."
  • No existing pledge: No problem! If you would like to make a pledge, click the Donate button at the top of this page. Create your CFC Online Giving System account and pledge via annuity deduction, credit/debit card, or bank account. Even $5 per month can make a big difference to your favorite charity.

1. Choose your cause.
The CFC allows members of the Federal community, including retirees, to support causes you care about. Whether it is finding cures for diseases, supporting military families, or promoting equality for all, the CFC has vetted charities for any cause you want to support. You can even give to multiple charities with one pledge.

 

 

2. Make your pledge. computer icon with CFC logo
GIVE HAPPY by donating from your annuity, credit/debit card, or bank transfer. It adds up to so much happiness when we give together. Giving online allows you to easily renew your pledge each year.

Need to make a required minimum distribution from your retirement account? We can help with that, too! Paper pledge forms are also available and can be mailed directly to the CFC Processing Center: CFC Processing Center, P.O. Box 7820 Madison, WI 53707-7820.
