The CFC is the only authorized solicitation of employees in the Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations.  While the Office of Personnel Mangement (OPM) regulates CFC practices as a whole, campaigns are broken into smaller CFC regions throughout the USA and the world.  The Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC) and Principal Combined Fund Organization (PCFO) for each CFC control local charity applications, campaign theme, local budget, and other decisions that affect the day to day operations of the CFC.

The Potomac CFC covers all areas formerly included in the Dahlgren/Fort A.P. Hill CFC and the Quantico CFC.  This includes the city of Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, Essex, Fauquier, King & Queen, King George, Lancaster, Madison, Northumberland, Orange, Rappahannock, Richmond, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Westmoreland and the Marine Combat Development Command in Prince William County.  Any place of federal employment within these counties and cities receives the materials and services of the Potomac CFC.

The Combined Federal Campaign is a designation driven campaign.  Federal employees may make annual contributions to eligible charities of their choice through one-time check or cash donations or through payroll deduction which allows federal employees to give a set amount out of each paycheck to charity.
