The Center for Celiac Research is now part of the National/International Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The mission of the CFC is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient, and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.

CFC is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with more than 200 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally to help to raise millions of dollars each year. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season (September 1st to December 15th) support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.

To designate the Center for Celiac Research as the charity you would like to support through the CFC, our organization code is 81198. For more information on the CFC, visit www.opm.gov/cfc.

Donate to the CFCR through market research: Op4G (Opinions 4 Good) maintains a database and sells access to it for consumer and market research. Advertising agencies and consumer-oriented companies do such work on a daily basis. But Op4G is different from other research companies because its database is comprised of people just like you – supporters of Non-Profit enterprises like the CFCR. Op4G makes it possible for people like you to earn money and donate it to the CFCR by participating in internet-based market research anonymously at a safe and secure website. Your identity is never known, can never be sold, and you’re never inundated with SPAM as a result of Op4G Membership. Plus, all market research activities are determined by you at the myOp4G website, which is filled with a variety of information and activities. Op4G’s program allows you to help us while also sharing your feelings and experiences with organizations eager to pay for that insight. You’ll be paid for it and can donate as much as you want to the CFCR!

To sign up, go to www.op4g.com and enter the code CELIAC1234. That identifies the CFCR as the Non-Profit you are there to support.
