What causes most interest federal government donors? Again, now that we are gathering pledge results from across the country, we are able, for the first time, to provide answers.

For half a century, federal employees have been supporting thousands and thousands of charities. The government calculates that federal donors have given about $7 billion over this period.
The CFC provides a uniquely large sample of donor preferences. Year after year, about a million federal employees voluntarily pick one or more organizations from the many thousands contained within the CFC list of eligible groups, directing Campaign administrators to divert money from their paychecks to their preferred group or groups.
First, an apology. We have not maintained our flow of posts to the blog ‘cause, to be honest, we are swamped in charity applications. As we have explained, federations like us play a major role in the screening of groups that wish to participate in the next year’s CFC. The application deadline for national and international organizations is approaching fast, so we naturally are fighting the fires right in front of us.
Our blog, Payroll Philanthropy, is sponsored by the Workplace Giving Alliance, a collaboration of a dozen national and local federations. We suspect that many readers actually don’t know what a federation is, so we are going to take a moment to explain.
