trouble accessing the system?
Check with your Technology team. Sometimes, agency firewalls block the domain due to the authenticator at Login.gov. Please ensure the following URL is marked "safe" (whitelisted, allow listed) at your agency to ensure everyone has access to the CFC's Online Giving System: cfcgiving.tascfc.sso.com.
*Download these detailed instructions on how to use the new multifactor authentication Login.gov or check out this Quick Reference Sheet. You can download the general How to Pledge Online Instructions (Online Giving User Guide) to learn more about using the Online Giving System.
OPtion 2: Paper pledge form
Prefer using pen and paper? You can still complete a paper pledge form and use the PDF version of the Charity List (or the searchable online charity database) to find the charity codes for the charities you want to support. Download the Federal employee, USPS, or retiree form and complete it using the instructions. Submit it to your Keyworker or mail it directly to the CFC Processing Center: CFC Processing Center, P.O. Box 7820 Madison, WI 53707-7820.
option 3: CFC Giving mobile App
- Download the App for Apple or Android devices by searching "CFC Giving" in the app store.
- Sign in or create an account. Returning donors should use the same login as your CFC online pledge portal account. New donors should create an account, verify it, and set up a profile.
- Search for charities. If you are attending an event, you can see the list of charities participating in the event, or you can generate your own list of CFC charities and their descriptions.
- Give by tapping each charity you want to support and entering the dollar amount.
- Complete your donation by updating or adding your funding source (payroll allotment, bank account or credit/debit card). Federal employees can also pledge volunteer hours!
