The Easiest Way to Give: CFC Payroll Deduction
If you're a federal employee, active-duty servicemember, or federal contractor, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the simplest way to support SUDS. Using your agency's CFC portal, you can set up automatic payroll deductions to SUDS (CFC #94754, National Capital Area) — giving as little as $5/month adds up to $60/year, enough to fully fund one warrior's equipment for a dive event.
How CFC Giving Works
- Log into your agency's CFC giving portal (typically open September–January each cycle)
- Search for "SUDS" or enter pledge number 94754
- Select your pledge amount — one-time or recurring payroll deduction
- Designate to National Capital Area region
- Your donation is processed and forwarded to SUDS quarterly
Impact of CFC Giving
- $10/month ($120/year) – Covers dive equipment rental for one warrior for a full season
- $25/month ($300/year) – Covers hotel accommodations for one warrior at a 3-day event
- $50/month ($600/year) – Covers round-trip airfare to Key Largo or Virginia Beach for one participant
Why CFC Matters for SUDS
CFC contributions are predictable, recurring, and aggregated — which allows SUDS to plan programs months in advance rather than scrambling for last-minute funding. In 2025, CFC contributions represented 18% of SUDS' total charitable income. Growing that share means more warriors served in 2026 and beyond.
