Attention Government Employees: Check the Code

Just like a postal zip code directs mail to the post office that delivers your mail, the world’s largest workplace giving campaign, the Combined Federal Campaign, uses charity codes to route contributions from the paychecks of government employees to the charities they choose to give to. In 2007, every charity received a new code. The new code for the Alzheimer’s Association is 69135. Regardless of what you see or read, the Alzheimer’s Association encourages you to check the codes in the CFC Brochure to ensure you are using the correct code for the Alzheimer’s Association when you are completing your pledge form for the 2007 campaign. 

The Alzheimer’s Association, along with 49 of America’s premier health charities, partners together with Community Health Charities to bring the best health charities to the Combined Federal Campaign. 

When making contributions during the 2007 CFC, Alzheimer’s Association encourages you to pay careful attention to the figure noted for an organization’s Administrative and Fund Raising ratio (AFR). The Alzheimer’s Association adheres to industry standards put forth for non-profits by the Better Business Bureau. In accordance with Community Health Charities membership standards, member charities spend no more than $0.25 of every dollar raised on overhead. 

The Alzheimer’s Association has earned the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Seal. The seal acknowledges that the Alzheimer’s Association adheres to the Alliance's comprehensive 20 Standards of Charity Accountability.

The Alzheimer’s Association meets the 20 Standards of Charity Accountability as defined by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. Visit www.give.org to view the report for the Alzheimer’s Association.
