​The Combined Federal Fund, CFC, is a group of 501C3 corporations who meet strict requirements of integrity and proper business practice and have been approved by the Federal Government to be placed on a list of charities to which the 4 million US Federal Government Employees are encouraged to donate each year. 
In 2015, Dr. Keith Snail, a friend of African PTSD Relief, told us about the possibility of applying to join this single charity opportunity for US Government employees. We applied in January and received an acceptance in mid-April for the 2016 donations drive. Not only will all of the Federal Employees receive PTSD Relief Now and its African PTSD Relief projects as a donation opportunity, but African PTSD Relief will now be invited to Charity Fairs, opportunities to give presentations to various divisions of the US Government I the National Capital Area. In these Charity Fairs, held in the fall of 2016, we will explain our research, show videos of the great relief victims are receiving, and also perhaps inspire collaboration with divisions of the US Government for PTSD Relief aid to Africa. 
We are told that if a department invites African PTSD Relief/PTSD Relief Now to their charity fair, we will have an increased chance of participating in that charity fair. If you work in a division of the US Government in the National Capital Area (around Washington DC) or have friends who do, please email contact@africanptsdrelief.org so we can plan for a presentation together.
