There are new virtual opportunities for local (there will be other opportunities for national and international charities) charities located in the NorCal CFC Zone to share their story with the federal community.  Every other Tuesday at 10:30 AM PST the NorCal CFC zone will host “Cause Talk”, similar in format to a TED Talk.  This event allows 2-3 charities to talk for approximately 10 minutes each about their organizations, how CFC has impacted them and the community, and encourages federal employees ‘tuning in’ (all will be invited to do so) to donate to charities that are meaningful to them.

To give all charities the opportunity to participate, the weekly Cause Talks will focus on specific areas.  The Cause of the Week topics are listed below.  Please take a moment to look them over and register.  If your charity works with a variety of the weekly causes, you can sign up for them all.

To ensure equal opportunity for all charities, a random selection process will take place to identify the charities for that particular week’s talk.  Registration for each Cause Talk closes on Tuesday of the previous week, with an email confirmation sent the next day.  As an added means to engage attendees, charities chosen are asked to submit 2 questions/answers to be included in the Kahoot! game section at the end of the event.
