Combined Federal Campaign ePledge – My Pay

ePledge Initiative

• Combined Federal Campaign donations via electronic payroll deduction giving were previously not an option in the Department of Defense (DoD)

• Teams from Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the Voluntary Campaign Management Office (VCMO) collaborated to create the first true paperless payroll deduction giving for DoD personnel

• MyPay ePledge:– Increases donor confidentiality– Reduces administrative workload and administrative errors associated

with paper pledge form processing– Reduces campaign costs which results in fewer donor dollars being

spent on overhead and more donor dollars being provided directly to the CFC supported charitable organizations

ePledge Overview

• MyPay ePledge allows military and civilian personnel to establish a CFC allotment within the CFC open season

• ePledge will be available to 89 of the 169 Combined Federal Campaigns in 2013

• ePledge development was mirrored on the Employee Express (EEX) electronic giving system

• OPM will not add additional campaigns or make changes to the CFC module in EEX.
