50% of children born with heart defects will need heart surgery at sometime in their life. Of those 50%, 35% need surgery in the first month in order to survive.
Our new ICHF Combined Federal Campaign number is 11034.*
As a federal, postal or military employee, you can make on-the-job donations to the Children’s Heart International Foundation (ICHF) through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
Giving through the CFC is a great way to give because the CFC allows you, through payroll deductions, to give a set amount each pay period. No amount is too small because your donation is combined with those other employees who are also donating to the ICHF. The result is small donations that will add up to large donations which will enable the ICHF to do great things, like save a child.
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign. More than 300 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally help raise millions of dollars each year for eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.
The International Children’s Heart Foundation has met the eligibility criteria and adheres to fiscal accountability standards which are required to participate in the CFC.
To make your CFC pledge for support to the International Children’s Heart Foundation, enroll during the campaign season (September 1 to December 15) at your workplace by designating the ICHF (campaign number 11034) on your enrollment materials.
We would like to thank all the federal and military employees who contributed to us through your workplace campaigns last year and are counting on your continued your support this year.
Thank you so much for your support.
* ICHF is proud to display its Independent Charities Seal of Excellence. The seal is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
