CDC Employees
Combined Federal Campaign: Contributions from CDC employees and other federal employees through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) provide important unrestricted operating funds that help the CDC Foundation support critical CDC programs. CDC publicizes a CFC enrollment period each year, usually beginning in September and ending in November. The CDC Foundation is included in the national listing as number 10141 National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Inc.
Please note that due to recent changes in CFC reporting procedures, the CDC Foundation no longer automatically receives the names of individual CDC employees who contribute through the CFC. If you would like us to acknowledge your gift in our annual donor reports, please be sure to check the box on your CFC application that gives the CFC permission to release your name and address to the CDC Foundation. If you also wish to share the amount of your CFC contribution with the CDC Foundation, please forward a copy of your completed application that indicates your overall contribution amount to: CDC Foundation, Attn: Advancement, 55 Park Place, Suite 400, Atlanta, GA 30303. Or, send an e-mail with your full name and contribution amount to dhonaman@cdcfoundation.org.
Where Your Help is Needed Most: You can make a gift at any time of the year, in any amount. Your generous contributions help us continue to identify and pursue new and innovative ways of working with the private sector to provide CDC with greater flexibility and expanded opportunities. Unrestricted gifts from donors like you help us reach out to make these important connections and make certain that we have the capacity to ensure success. You can make a gift online or by mail. You can also make gifts over the phone by calling 404.653.0790.
Memorial/Honor Gifts: If you want to honor a colleague, friend or family member, you can make a gift to the Foundation in his or her honor. Honor gifts are a great way to recognize special occasions, such as retirements, professional milestones or birthdays. We have even had couples with CDC connections request that, in lieu of wedding presents, guests make contributions to the CDC Foundation in their honor. Or, you may wish to remember a friend or loved one who has passed away by making a memorial gift. At your instruction, we will send a card notifying the family of your gift. You can make a honor or memorial gift online or by mail. You can also make gifts over the phone by calling 404.653.0790.
Endowments and Restricted Funds: Some of the first donations the CDC Foundation received were from CDC employees who directed their gifts to an endowment. Endowment gifts are kept permanently and invested to produce annual revenue for a specific program or activity at CDC. Today the CDC Foundation manages 13 endowed funds with a total value of more than $2.2 million, including the Gangarosa Endowment for Safe Water, the Endowment for Global Health Priorities and the Louise Martin, D.V.M., M.S., EIS ’85 Memorial Scholarship Endowment.
In addition to endowed funds, several restricted funds help CDC address specific public health challenges and respond to public health emergencies in the U.S. and around the world. These funds include the Emergency Preparedness & Response Fund which was activated for the first time after Hurricane Katrina to support public health response efforts on the Gulf Coast, the Global Disaster Response Fund which was created after the tsunami hit southern Asia in 2004 and the Polio Eradication Heroes Fund which provides compensation or recognition to volunteers injured or killed in the global fight against polio.
