Welcome to the 2026 Combined Federal Campaign
Choose a cause. Make your pledge. Make an impact.
Together, we give more.
Your generosity can create brighter futures for people and communities in need. The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) makes it possible to support causes that matter to you. This year, a new, more intuitive giving experience through MyTASC makes it easier to explore participating charities and make your pledge. Every gift is an opportunity to make a difference. CFC giving is open December 1, 2026–February 19, 2027.
Your pledge, in a few simple steps.
- Select Give Now to access the CFC giving experience.
- Sign in to MyTASC or follow the account setup instructions shown.
- Explore participating charities and select the causes you want to support.
- Follow the prompts to complete and confirm your pledge.
Your gift can change someone’s story.
Behind every pledge is a person, family, animal or community that may benefit from the work of a participating charity. One CFC-participating organization helped a family avoid losing their home by providing rent assistance during a medical crisis. Another supports children who need food over the weekend. Your pledge can help organizations like these continue their work.
"It saved my life."
“This is an awesome place where disabilities don’t matter. We are all equal here.”
“A helping hand kept Clara and her family in their home.”
“From painful injuries to a second chance at happiness.”
“Get up, get out, and get involved.”
There’s still time to give more.
The CFC giving period ends February 19, 2027. If you have not made your pledge, now is the time to explore participating charities and support a cause that matters to you.

Where do I go to make a pledge?
These FAQs are posted on cfcgive.org. Select the Give Now button from the header to navigate to the MyTASC giving experience.
Why does the online portal look different than it did last year?
This new platform allows significantly more of your donation dollars to go directly to charities, benefiting the communities donors like you live in and creating a bigger impact.
Do I need to create a MyTASC account if I already have one?
The majority of donors will need to create a new account. If you already have a MyTASC account for other benefits, please use a new e-mail address when registering for CFC. Everyone else should create a new account.
Why do I need to create an account before I can complete my online pledge?
An account is required to protect your personal information.
Can I use my government e-mail or a personal email when setting up my donor account?
We do not restrict the e-mail address used. However, federal employees must select a phishing-resistance form of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and are encouraged to authenticate with their PIV/CAC cards.
MAKING & MANAGING A PLEDGE
What are my options for funding my pledge?
During enrollment you can elect a pledge funded from your payroll or allotment. After enrollment, you may add funds to your account as needed when you are inspired to give; those additional funds can be added through credit and debit cards.
I am a retiree - what payment methods can I use?
Retirees can pledge using their annuity/retirement pay or a credit card.
How do I designate specifc charaties or split my pledge amount multiple organizations?
During the pledge process in MyTASC you can search participating charities and allocate your donation to one or more organizations.
Is there an option to continue or auto-renew my CFC pledge so I don't have to re-enroll every year?
Yes. The MyTASC portal allows you to elect to continue your pledge election across campaign years. Select the auto-enroll options during your pledge designation.
I am a current CFC donor and want to continue my pledge into the next year. Do I have to complete a new pledge?
You will need to create a new pledge for this campaign, but you will be offered the option to auto-renew your pledge during the enrollment process.
Can I change my pledge amount or charities during the campaign year?
Currently the only allowed change to an active pledge is cancellation.
How do I cancel my pledge?
This can be completed within the MyTASC portal. You may also submit a support ticket through your donor profile or e-mail support@cfccharities.org. Please include the e-mail address associated with your account.
How quickly will my pledge be cancelled?
Please allow 1-2 payroll cycles for deductions to stop, to accommodate processing timelines at each payroll center.
When will my new pledge amount begin appearing on my pay or annuity statement?
You should see the new amount begin with the first full pay period after the Solicitation Period closes on February 19, 2027.
My payroll deduction has not started, but my old amount was withheld in January - what happened?
Payroll deductions typically conclude in January for the prior campaign and begin in February for the new campaign. The January deduction is likely the final installment of your previous pledge. New deduvtion amounts should begin with the first February payroll cycle.
Why isn't my one-time credit/debit card pledge reflected on my statement yet?
Although one-time pledges are processed immediately, it may take your bank or credit card provider several business days to settle the transaction from the date the pledge was submitted.
