"We went to this meeting with the sole objective of helping these leaders who will work with each of the agencies and military services better understand how CFC helps small local charities who do not have paid staff, " said Paul Darby,president of the Coats for Kids Foundation.

CFK was asked to personalize the campaign for these leaders on behalf of the nearly  4,000 local charities who are a part of the 2008 campaign.

CFK emphasized that each of these charities participated in a very thorough application process which required each charity to provide three years' financial reports (IRS 990s), a copy of its 501C3 approval letter from the IRS, and demonstrated results of how the charity provides and measures service to the capitol region.

CFK is making presentations this week to the Defense Education Services, and the DoD Federal Credit Union Thursday, and to the Defense Security Services and the USMC Kickoff next week.  

If you Federal agency would like CFK to speak to your staff, we will be happy to do so.  Email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
