Cause Area Resource Collection

 

Choosing a charitable cause to support is a deeply personal decision. The CFC provides several resources to get the community thinking and talking about charitable causes. These cause areas demonstrate the impact your gift can have on the future you imagine through the CFC.  You can also visit our Virtual Charity Fair and filter by cause area to read stories and watch videos from charities working in these areas. 

Please note: The stories we share in our Cause Collection and Virtual Charity Fair are intended to promote the great work CFC participating charities accomplish through the power of donations from the federal community. However, visitors should be aware that many of our causes deal with potentially upsetting topics such as illness, poverty, hunger, sexual assault/human trafficking, etc. Please do not click any cause areas for which you may have a sensitivity.
