Workplace Giving Campaigns

by

There are several different ways you can make a difference in our council at this time. The CFC is one of the easiest, most effective ways you can support National Capital Area Council is through workplace giving, an employer-sponsored program that empowers you to support your favorite charities through tax-deductible donations deducted directly from your paycheck.

The CFC campaign kicks off on September 21st and will conclude in January. Look for us in your workplace charitable giving campaign and designate National Capital Area Council, Boy Scouts of America #48974 as recipient of your generosity on your pledge forms.

Through our membership with America’s Charities, employees at hundreds of public and private organizations can donate to NCAC through payroll contributions.

Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)

CFC is a workplace giving campaign for federal employees: civilian employees, military personnel and postal workers. National Capital Area Council is a member of America’s Charities Community First federation and is listed as CFC #48974. Which begins September 21, 2020.

Unfortunately, there will not be in person charity fairs this year, they will be virtual. You can also contact Barb Perez for more information. Barb.Perez@scouting.org

Workplace Giving: Don’t Leave Money on the Table

by

Community leadership takes many forms. The National Capital Area Council Boy Scouts of America is fortunate to have so many hardworking volunteers committed to Scouting programs in our area. We appreciate all the ways that the work of our volunteers contributes to Scouting’s mission, and that’s why we want you to know about an easy, powerful way you can support us while doing what you’re already doing. That way is workplace giving.

If you have given a donation to NCAC this year, don’t be afraid to ask your employer if they offer a matching gifts program. Often times, companies offer matching gifts to incentivize employees to participate in meaningful causes that benefit their communities, such as Scouting. For you, that means a possible avenue to doubling your donation for an organization that you’re already invested in. Some companies will even match the time you give with a financial contribution. That is, for each hour you volunteer, your employer may donate money to the Scouts. Because workplace giving is one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to support NCAC’s mission, it enables us to maximize the impact your donation makes–no matter what form it takes.

If you are unsure if your company offers a matching gifts program, please go to https://doublethedonation.com/ncacbsa and enter your company’s name to see if they participate. Every donation matters, and by taking a moment to check if your company participates in workplace giving, you could double the impact of what you’re already doing. And that’s working smarter.

Thank you for all that you do for Scouting. For more information on this and other ways to give, please visit: https://www.ncacbsa.org/support-scouting/
