Federal employees can donate to the League

Employees of the US government can designate their Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) pledges to the ARRL. (The League is CFC No 9872.)

Federal employees who participate in the CFC can donate all or part of their CFC contribution to the League to support ARRL's efforts on behalf of Amateur Radio. Some private-sector employers also match donations their employees make to ARRL, while others will donate to the League if you volunteer your time - as an Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteer, for example.

"ExxonMobil gives ARRL a donation of $500 for every 25 hours that I volunteer for ARES activities, including training, exercises and preparation - with a max of $2000 per year," says ARRL member Alan Isaachsen, KB2WF. ARRL is a qualifying §501(c)(3) organization, and contributions may be tax deductible for both employer and employee.

To learn how to donate to various ARRL funds, visit the Support Amateur Radio and ARRL Web page.
For additional information, contact ARRL Chief Development Officer Mary Hobart, K1MMH, mhobart@arrl.org; 860-594-0397; fax 860-594-0259. - thanks to Alan Isaachsen, KB2WF, and Walt Dubose, K5YFW
