A Message from the President
Dear Friends,
What does love look like in practice? Simple: it looks like a pitcher
overflowing—pouring out good things on our neighbors in a host of lifechanging efforts. In the past year Christian Service Charities played a
vital part in the overflow of practical love. CSC charities reached millions
of federal, postal, and military personnel, and these donors poured out
donations generously from their earnings, enabling our member charities to
extend abundant blessings to neighbors far and near.
That abundance takes many forms; CSC’s 100 member charities provide
services ranging from advocacy to feeding programs to church planting to
healthcare. Throughout each program and outreach runs the same thread—
the overflowing of good things.
After twenty years of faithfulness we remain committed to supporting
that process. In 2014 the Christian Service Charities Board of Directors
and staff maintained their focus on increasing pledges and exposure for
our charities, managing the federation’s budget responsibly, and processing
pledges efficiently and transparently so that member charities can fulfill their
own callings to care for their neighbors in many places and many ways. This
report documents their efforts and accomplishments.
We remain committed to the pursuit of excellence, efficiency, and
transparency in our calling as a federation. These qualities have made us a
leader in workplace giving and the largest Christian federation in the 2013
CFC, but we realize that we are one part of a much larger process, and we
thank you for the role that you play in making it possible.

President of the Board of Directors

A Message from the CEO
Dear Friends,
“Changing Times, Changing Faces” was our theme for 2014—and
it could hardly have been more accurate! This year Christian
Service Charities has seen changes and growth in the Combined
Federal Campaign, in our member charities, and in how we
tirelessly pursue the best ways to serve our members and donors.
There have been plenty of “changing faces” in our membership. In
2014 CSC added ten new members to the federation. Currently
CSC serves 100 member charities—charities that change lives
throughout the world through feeding programs, advocacy, Bible
distribution, church planting, disaster relief, resources for the
disabled, microloans, nutritional training, and a multitude of other
outreaches.

Times were definitely changing in the CFC—and Christian Service
Charities has been a vital part of that process, contributing to
dialogues with the government alongside other industry leaders.
As the impact of these changes unfolds in the coming years, CSC
is poised to serve its members more effectively than ever.
This year, Christian Service Charities celebrates its 20th anniversary. For the
past twenty years we have been connecting charities you know and trust
with donors—throughout “changing times” in our organization, in the CFC,
and in the world of workplace giving. The infographic on page 2 showcases
some of the changes we’ve experienced and the impact we’ve had over our
first two decades.
As the times change, Christian Service Charities effectively adapted and
grew, taking initiative and boldly seeking new ways to serve its members.
For instance, when Super Typhoon Haiyan made landfall on November
7th, 2013, our new Disaster Relief page highlighting member charities
went live within twenty-four hours. The “face” of our application system
changed, too—Christian Service Charities invested in major technological
improvements to our application system, providing members with a
smoother experience and saving them valuable time.
The more things change, however, the more they stay the same… and this is
true of Christian Service Charities in the areas where consistency is critical.
We remain committed to excellent service, efficient stewardship of funds,
and transparency at every level. We remain a leader in workplace giving. We
remain proud to support our members in carrying out their missions of
charity and evangelism. Above all, we remain grateful to you for the part you
play in a changing world.
Sincerely,
Tom Youngblood
CEO

There is no application fee or upfront cost to members before campaign receipts are collected. CSC’s
cost recovery practices are designed so that expenses based on a
budget approved by the Board are
shared proportionally by all member organizations. The member
organization’s contribution towards
cost recovery (‘Membership Fees’)
is calculated based on the member
organization’s gross pledges, subject
to a minimum fee of $2,500 and a
maximum fee of $75,000. For the
most recent campaign year; for
which payments have been completed, average Membership Fees
(excluding member charities subject to the minimum and maximum
limits) was 10.08%. Federation fees
are inclusive, with no other fees
or charges from the federation or
from other entities.
For the fiscal year ended April 30,
2014, CSC raised $7.6 million from
contributions from federal, state
and local and private employees.
