CFC# 11737

Combined Federal Campaign  

CFC is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with about 250 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally to help to raise millions of dollars each year. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.

Who Does Wycliffe Help?

Wycliffe works all around the world. Currently our efforts serve languages spoken in more than 90 countries. The majority of the remaining translation needs represent minority languages—relatively small people groups, many of which struggle to maintain their cultural identity in the shadow of the majority. Often these groups have no written language of their own, and low literacy rates in majority languages lead to fewer opportunities and a susceptibility to exploitation.

The benefits of translation and literacy on these minority languages are many. They include better health as a result of access to medical information, economic growth due to increased marketability and opportunities, and the preservation of culture thanks to documentation and an increased sense of self-worth that comes with language recognition. Most importantly, Bible translation brings people closer to God Himself—the One who transforms hearts.

Why do you need my support?

Reaching the last languages with God’s Word requires an enormous amount of resources. In response to these needs, in November 2008 Wycliffe USA launched the Last Languages Campaign—a strategic commitment to raise our share of the resources needed to accomplish Vision 2025. More than $1 billion is needed to reach the last languages with God’s Word.

How Will My Donation be Used?

Donations made through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) are distributed through a general projects fund, supporting language projects around the world and providing tools to facilitate Bible translation.
