U.S. Army Cadet Corps to be Included in the Combined Federal Campaign

The U.S. Army Cadet Corps has been awarded the The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence. This seal is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. 
These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.

The Army Cadets will be included in the Military Support Groups of America during the upcoming Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), using donation code 32999.   Federal employees, including military personnel, are able to support the Army Cadets through their monthly contribution to CFC.

Donations may be made by supporters at anytime, including those who are not involved with the Federal Government and supporting through CFC by going to Give Direct.

The operation of a multi-faceted program such as the U.S. Army Cadet Corps requires  significant annual expenses for everything ranging from facilities maintenance to training scholarships.  Your donation, of whatever amount, allows us to serve even more young people.  Please consider supporting our various programs through your generous monthly contribution.
