2019 Charity Listing CFCNCA 2019 Charity Listing Choose your cause and Show Some Love SSG Oceana Howard today. U.S. Army Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area cfcnca.org Fellow Federal Employees: As the Preamble to our Constitution so eloquently states, our government exists to “… establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” As public servants, we are dedicated to these principles. We represent a powerful, caring community committed to the benefit of others. The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) provides us yet another way to serve our community and nation. Through the CFC, we can support thousands of organizations in this Catalog of Caring whose mission it is to help those in need. We can assist charities granting wishes to children battling cancer, organizations supporting Veterans, and groups dedicated to sheltering the homeless and feeding the hungry. In 2018, more than $34 million and more than 56,000 volunteer hours were pledged through our local CFC here in the National Capital Area. This year, we hope to do even better! Even a modest contribution can have a huge impact: • $17 funds one day of a clinical trial for a cancer patient; • $25 shelters, feeds and cares for an endangered animal; • $50 provides a child with school meals for one year; and • $100 builds emergency shelters for five families uprooted in the wake of a disaster. Choose your cause, share your story, donate, volunteer and join us in this longstanding tradition of the Combined Federal Campaign. Join the CFC this year with your federal colleagues and Show Some Love. Thank you for being a public servant. Thank you also for being an everyday philanthropist through the CFC!

The WID approach aimed at “adding” women to development efforts and integrating them into global economies and production, while the GAD approach focuses more on social relations which create gender inequalities (Parpart, Connelly and Barriteau 2000). Today, the attention to gender equality has increased and most development organizations try to, at least officially, integrate it as a perspective in their work (Dogra 2011).

  • Nov 2020: LGBTI+ Life in Lockdown Press Release
    LGBT Ireland, NXF and GCN deliver Key Report For release Friday 27th November LGBT Ireland, together with the National LGBT Federation (NXF) and Gay Community News (GCN) release the LGBTI+ Life in Lockdown Survey Report on Friday 27th November. The Covid-19 Pandemic has caused incredible hurt, damage and loss across all aspects of society around the world. There isn’t a single person or community untouched by this dreadful disease. While everyone has felt the impact, some communities are hit worse than others, whether by the virus itself or by its knock-on effects. The LGBTI+ Community already endures the injustice of discrimination and inequality, and the results from this snapshot survey will show that the pandemic and lockdown has hit the LGBTI+ community much harder. The voices represented in the report will highlight the struggles of LGBTI+ people who are additionally marginalised including LGBTI+ migrants, Traveller and Roma, refugees, older, living with a long-term disability, or other intersectional identities, they have been the most impacted amongst the LGBTI+ community. The LGBTI+ community rely on community spaces, social connections, and the ability to take pride in their identities, together. The community has suffered so many different forms of loss throughout this pandemic, and for many it is difficult to see the end in sight. LGBT Ireland, NXF and GCN are grateful to the people who shared their perspectives on how this global health crisis has affected their physical and mental health, how the sudden social isolation has impacted their lives and relationships and how the situation has further exacerbated existing inequalities.
