Our analysis of pledge results from the 2016 Combined Federal Campaign suggests that many federal donors voted last fall with their campaign pledges – against Donald Trump. Both the Washington Post and Chronicle of Philanthropy reported this finding.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was the big winner in the 2016 Combined Federal Campaign, as we recently reported in our annual tabulation of pledge results.
American Red Cross has replaced St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as the organization receiving the most support from donors in the U.S. Combined Federal Campaign. In the 2012 CFC, American Red Cross received an estimated $7,089,900 from federal donors. St. Jude received an estimated $6,651,900.
