New Way for Federal Employees and Retirees to Support Doheny Eye Institute: Through the Combined Federal Campaign
Doheny Eye Institute continues to find ways to make it easier for our generous supporters to give the gift of sight. Now, Federal employees, including Veterans and active military, can support Doheny through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), a workplace giving program that offers the opportunity to support charities of their choice through deductions from their paychecks or retiree annuity.
