Government Shutdown: Let Us Know How You’re Helping Federal Employees

This past Monday, we shared with you an update about the 2018 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) and partial government shutdown, along with a Washington Post article we were quoted in. 

Since then, we’ve had some requests from municipal campaigns and other organizations about how America’s Charities’ nonprofit members are responding and providing assistance to employees impacted by the shutdown. We’ve been sharing the stories and information members have made available to us, but want to make sure we’re including your organization’s efforts as well. 

If your organization is doing something to help federal employees during the shutdown, please let our team know as soon as possible so we can spread the word and share what you’re doing with others as requests for information come in. 

Please share your information with our Client Engagement team via email at clientsolutions@charities.org or respond to this email.

Thank you!
