FIENS is honored to be included in the upcoming Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), running from September 1, 2025 through January 15, 2026. This campaign offers a meaningful way for members of the federal workforce to support our mission of strengthening neurosurgical education and training worldwide.
Key Details:
- Eligibility through VA appointments: Any neurosurgeon with a VA appointment (eighths) may designate FIENS as a beneficiary. First-time givers will need to create an account at givecfc.org.
- Federal employee participation: All federal employees can give to FIENS online via payroll deduction, credit card, debit card, or PayPal.
- Additional giving channels: In past years, paper forms and the CFC mobile app have also been available and are expected to continue.
