Every year, WHOA participates in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), the world’s largest and most successful workplace giving campaign. Established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, its mission is to provide federal employees with an opportunity to better their communities by contributing to causes they care about. The Federal Government’s Office of Personnel and Management (OPM) vets all 501©3 non-profits and organizes on site events where federal employees can meet charities first hand. In Los Angeles County, approximately 2,000 charities participate in CFC. In 2014, WHOA ranked in the top 25 in donor contributions in LA County; fourth in Military related charities after Wounded Warrior Project, Disabled American Veterans, and Fisher House Foundation – not bad for a grassroots organization!
We believe the reason for this success is simply that we work really hard and try to speak to as many people as possible about what we do and the challenges our wounded vets face.What seems to resonate with federal employees is our hands on approach and focus on the entire family.
IF YOU, A FRIEND, OR A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY ARE A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE, PLEASE CONSIDER WOUNDED HEROES OF AMERICA FOR YOUR NEXT CFC CONTRIBUTION # 99918
Any federal employee irrespective of what city or state they’re from, they now can choose Wounded Heroes of America for a donation through CFC and payroll deduction. Thank you for your support!
