CFC Campaign stresses Payroll Deduction plan

Generous giving through the payroll deduction plan is a primary objective of the current DoD Overseas Combined Federal Campaign. Participants in the drive are twelve National Health Agencies, the American Red Cross and nine International Service Agencies A fair share giving guide advises contributors how to reach a decision on an equitable donation. By authorizing payroll withholding, servicemen and women can spread their contributions in installments over a six-month period beginning July 1. Other donor options are described in CFC literature which is keyed to the theme, «Help People Who Need Help.» A sub-theme is «Pledge Now, Give Later — through Payroll Deductions.» Contributors may designate

the agencies to which portions of their gift should go. Undesignated gifts are divided according to a formula which is described in campaign literature. A few years ago the health agencies, international agencies and Red Cross conducted separate drives overseas, but now the fund-raising effort is combined under DoD auspices. This reduces campaign costs and promises increased contributions to the voluntary organizations. A month remains before the campaign ends here on March 31.
