Support SEARAC through the Combined Federal Campaign

The Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC) is pleased to announce our participation in the 2008 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Our CFC number for this year is #11950.

The CFC is the U.S. government's annual fundraising drive. For the fourth time, SEARAC is included in the catalog federal employees receive from which they can select up to five international, national, and local organizations to which they would like to make charitable donations. This year's CFC season will start in September and last until the end of December 2009.

We are honored by the tremendous support we received during our first years of participation in the CFC, and SEARAC encourages all of our valued supporters who work for the federal government to consider selecting SEARAC as one of your CFC choices. We would also be greatly appreciative if our supporters could help spread the word about SEARAC and our membership in the campaign to any federal employees you know.

Donations made to SEARAC through the campaign will be used to help SEARAC continue our work empowering the Southeast Asian American community. This work includes providing training and capacity building resources to refugee-led community organizing; providing leadership development and civic engagement training to Southeast Asian American leaders around the country; serving as a coalition-builder and leader; and, contributing to action-oriented research projects.

In order to support SEARAC through CFC, please enter CFC code #11950 on your pledge card. Thank you!

If you have any questions about SEARAC's involvement with the CFC, or about SEARAC's work in general, please contact Naomi Steinberg at naomi@searac.org or ph: 202-667-4690.
