Can you believe FEEA has been supporting federal families for 40 years? With your help, we served more than 8,500 federal families over the last year - that's 14x our usual number!

Your continued support is more critical than ever, as we enter the first autumn in our history without the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to FEEA today, and if you're able to make a monthly recurring gift of $5 or more to help offset the loss of CFC, we would be exceptionally grateful.

Your donation can make a real difference. 🤝 Plus, BlueCross BlueShield Federal Employee Program will match your one-time gift, or initial recurring donation, doubling your impact!
