ALEXANDRIA, Va. (2/18/16)--The Combined Federal Campaign is the official workplace giving campaign of the federal government, and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) employees pledged more than $101,000 to the National Capital Area chapter for 2015.

Pledges made by federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season support eligible nonprofit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world. 

“NCUA’s employees are both dedicated public servants and model corporate citizens,” NCUA Chair Debbie Matz said in a release. She added that the agency's workforce blew past its fundraising goal by more than 40%, which in turn reaped four categories of awards for the effort.

The NCUA received:

• The President’s Award, which goes to reporting units with a 75% participation rate or per capita pledges to the campaign of at least $275. NCUA’s per capita pledge was $294.

• The Summit Award, for departments or agencies that achieve an increase of 3% in total dollars raised from the previous year. NCUA increased its contribution by more than 22.5%.

• The Participation Achievement Award, for entities that increase employee participation by at least 2% from the previous year. NCUA participation rose by 15%.

• The eGiving Award, for reporting units with at least a 10% increase in paperless pledges and a minimum of 10 paperless payroll donations. NCUA staff made 95 paperless donations.
