The 2007/2008 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is fast approaching.  In 2006, the Rhode Island CFC raised more than $780,000 from federal employees for the 1,500+ participating local, national and international participating organizations.

We are accepting applications for the 2007/2008 RI Combined Federal Campaign during the period from March 1 through March 30, 2007 from local federations and independent agencies interested in applying for participation.  The campaign runs during the Fall -- from September 1, 2007 through December 15, 2007.

The application, instructions and other items required to apply for inclusion in this year’s campaign are available on the RI CFC website at www.ricfc.org.  If necessary, a copy of the application package can be sent or e-mailed to you upon request of the CFC Director.

It is very important that you carefully read the instructions before completing the application.  There are many changes to this year’s application that will require additional attention and information.  To further assist you, we will be offering the following workshop:
