2024 CFC Kicks off for Government Employees and Retirees
September 1, 2024
If you are a current or retired U.S. government employee, did you know that the Combined Federal Campaign’s (CFC) 2024 GIVE HAPPY Campaign is already in full swing? Now through January 15, government employees and retirees can help make a difference for a thriving Amazon by GIVING HAPPY to Amazon Conservation.
This year’s campaign theme – GIVE HAPPY – connects giving with happiness, showing that when Federal employees give together, they spread happiness and they get happier too. Through the CFC, members of the Federal community go beyond their call to public service by contributing to the thousands of charities that work to improve the quality of life for all.
Search for Amazon Conservation on the CFC giving page or by using our CFC #49371 to GIVE HAPPY and GIVE HOPE for a thriving future for the Amazon!

For more than 60 years, members of the Federal community have contributed to charities through the CFC, giving more than $8.7 billion to help those in need locally, across the nation, and throughout the world. As communities across the globe are experiencing the impacts of a changing climate, the CFC’s GIVE HAPPY Campaign is the ideal opportunity to join forces and support climate-smart and nature-based solutions to protect critical yet vulnerable places like the Amazon Rainforest.
Why Amazon Conservation? The Amazon contains the single largest tropical rainforest on the planet, spanning more than 1.6 billion acres across 9 South American countries. A significant source of the world’s trees, oxygen, water, food, wildlife, and medicine, the Amazon is the most important terrestrial biome on the planet. Protecting the Amazon ensures a healthy future for all of humanity.
