Contribute to HSCA Agency #2844
Combined Federal Campaign Gets Underway!
BY Marie Hagan

It is that time of year again for pro-lifers to bolster pro-life educational efforts by contributing to the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) and to state and private sector giving programs. What you have made possible these past 23 years can’t be expressed in words and we are truly greatful.

The opportunity to participate through federal programs is the CFC, which was created by the Office of Personnel Management over 25 years ago. Over a two-month period, the CFC provides government employees the chance to pledge to the charity of their liking.

CFC activity takes place in military bases and postal offices around the country where employees receive a CFC brochure. This brochure lists hundreds of charities to select from and makes it convenient to give through payroll deduction.

If you are (or know someone who is) a government employee, see your campaign coordinator for a brochure and pledge card this fall. Look under the workplace campaign federation called Human Service Charities of America (HSCA) for the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund (agency #2844).

The National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund has participated in the CFC for 23 years and generates over $140,000 annually for use in educational programs. NRL shares CFC proceeds with its state affiliates who utilize the funds to educate their communities.

Michael Ciccocioppo, executive director of Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, wrote, “Thank you so much for your recent donation. We truly appreciate the annual check from workplace campaign contributions to the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund. Your gift helps make it possible for us to educate the public in Pennsylvania through television, radio, print media, the Internet, and other avenues on the truth about abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia.”

Mr. Ciccocioppo’s comments epitomize the kind of feedback NRL receives from its state affiliate groups whose educational programs are enhanced by CFC contributions.

In addition to the CFC, the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund is also participating in the following state employee campaigns: California, District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin. If you are a state government employee, look for NRL under HSCA’s parent group called Neighbor to Nation (NTN).

Moreover, many private sector workplaces now offer employee giving campaigns. Simply check with yours to see if you can “write-in” the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund as another opportunity to help the unborn, elderly, and the disabled.

For questions, please contact workplace campaign coordinator Marie Hagan at mghagan@nrlc.org. This is a great opportunity for you to help us help the unborn and the medically dependent.
