The Combined Fund Drive (CFD) is Washington State’s workplace giving program for active and retired public employees.

State and higher education employees are invited to give to the charity of their choice through payroll contribution and agency fundraising events.

For 24 years, Washington State has proven to be one of the most giving states in the nation. Each year, over 17,000 active and re¬tired public employees pledge more than $5 million to over 3,800 different local, national and global charities.

A state employee can safely and easily through the CFD’s online system, or with a paper contribution form in any of the following ways:

Monthly Contribution:
A recurring amount will be taken out of each paycheck until the employee chooses to stop.

One-time contribution:
A single donation is collected and distributed to the charity of the donor’s choice.

Limited Time contribution:
Donations will be taken out of each paycheck for a set amount of time as defined by the employee.

Recurring Limited time contribution
The limited-time donation will continue annually during the same time period chosen.

Without our volunteers, the Combined Fund Drive could not func¬tion as a viable giving organization.

Over 1,700 active volunteers are stationed in various state offices and higher education campuses across the state, administering the program and promoting charitable giving to their offices.

The Combined Fund Drive campaign runs annually from the beginning of October to the end of December and is administered in over 250 different agencies and higher education institutions.

County Committees also put together events around the state that help bring donations to the charities of the CFD.
