Combined Federal Campaign and State Charitable Campaigns
Support the Civil War Trust through your State and Federal Charitable Programs
CFC #11785
Thank you for everyone who participated in the Combined Federal Campaign and State workplace charitable campaigns in 2011. The support we get from workplace giving campaigns is essential to our work, and goes straight to saving Civil War Battlefields from development, and promoting Civil War education. We look forward to another successful year in 2012!
Why Support the Civil War Trust?
We are Effective
The Civil War Trust has saved more than 30,000 acres of Civil War battlefield land. Since 2001, the Civil War Trust has saved four times more battlefield land than even the National Park Service.

We Magnify your Donations
Through the innovative use of matching grants, we routinely multiply every $1 donated by our members by a factor of three or more; meaning, the power of your donations will be greatly magnified towards saving battlefields. See our list of current preservation opportunities »
We are Accountable
Simply put, we do what we say we are going to do. Compare us to other groups you support; success in our mission is tangible, measurable and verifiable. Judge our success by walking every acre of hallowed ground you help save. Our results will last forever.

We are Efficient
Charity Navigator has awarded the Civil War Trust its highest rating of four stars for the second year in a row. Charity Navigator examines an organization’s efficiency, as well as their capacity for future work. To determine an 
organization’s efficiency, Charity Navigator examines their fundraising and administrative expenses compared to how much money goes to program costs. The Civil War Trust keeps its administration and fundraising costs low so that almost your entire gift goes straight to saving Civil War battlefield land and promoting Civil War education. Charity Navigator has also found that the Trust has a positive capacity for future work, which is shown by our continued expansion of land saved, and our loyal and growing base of supporters.

Once again Civil War Trust has been designated as one of the "Best in America" nonprofit charities and certified by Independent Charities of America. The "Best in America" seal of approval was inspired by a comparative review of "watchdog" groups by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations. The Council included the CFC standards in its review, and Civil War Trust meets or exceeds the standards. Of the more than 50,000 charities that participate in the CFC, only about 1,500 or 3% will have the opportunity to display this "Best in America" seal of approval. Please consider designating Civil War Trust and, if you do, please include your name and address so that we can acknowledge your gift. Learn More: http://www.bestcfc.org/
