Do you want to be a part of the biggest giving day of the year?

We want to share that tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 29, is Giving Tuesday, one of the most important days of the year for the 5,000+ Combined Federal Campaign charities. Giving Tuesday marks the beginning of the holiday giving season and has become a global day of giving celebrated nationally on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The CFC’s goal is to make this the biggest giving day of the campaign.

Here’s how you can help:

1. You can now donate to the SOW Association using the CFC by using this link: Donate to a CFC charity . If you’ve already given (thank you!), consider increasing your gift or make an additional one-time donation to support this special day.
2. Learn more about the #GivingTuesday

Thank you for your continued support of the causes that matter to you, your willingness to change the world, and your help in making tomorrow the most successful day of the 2022 CFC!

P.S. Federal retirees can give through the CFC too! You are invited to pledge through the CFC online giving system to increase our collective impact.
