There are several opportunities for local (there will be other opportunities for national and international charities) Desert Southwest charities to share their story with the federal community in the Desert Southwest CFC.  Every other Wednesday at 10:30 MST (9:30 PST/AZ; 11:30 AM CST) the Desert Southwest CFC 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 today.  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 Wednesday 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.

The deadline for completing the webform is September 23, 2020.

Kaptivate is excited to unveil a new, simplified system to discover and sign up for events in Kaptivate-managed zones in 2020. While the current pandemic will likely reduce the number of in-person events, they will still offer many opportunities to engage and share your story without the need for travel.

If you are unsure which zone you are in, please visit givecfc.org and enter your zip code into the search bar on the right. Your zone name will appear on the top of the page you are linked to by entering your zip code.

Once you find the event(s) you’d like to participate in and submit your registration, watch for an email from the Kaptivate CFC Events Team confirming your participation. In order to ensure all charities have an equal opportunity to participate, charities will be randomly selected for participation after the registration period has closed. Only those charities who receive written confirmation of their selection will be allowed to participate.

**Only charities that wish to participate in South-Central Texas CFC campaign events should attend this training**
