About State and Local Campaigns

Many states, localities, and even corporations have followed the lead of the U.S. government's Combined Federal Campaign in offering their employees a convenient mechanism for donating to qualified not-for-profits.

Though these campaigns are much smaller than the CFC, they offer significant financial support. Each campaign requires its own application, sets its own eligibility standards and schedule, and involves some kind of registration fee. We recommend that organizations weigh the potential benefits of a campaign against the time and expense involved in participating.

To help groups evaluate these opportunities, we maintain a State and Local Calendar, which organizes the campaigns by application deadlines and consolidates information so that potential applicants can make informed decisions about participation.

The Arts Federation maintains this calendar in collaboration with several other federations that share our commitment to helping not-for-profits enter every campaign that will benefit them.
