Pacific Northwest CFC Growth History
2010: Four additional counties are added to the region: Jackson and Josephine in Oregon and Pacific and Grays Harbor in Washington.
2008: OPM approves mergers between the Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC, Lane County CFC and Central Oregon CFC (Deschutes, Crook, Grant, and Harney counties). The campaign changes its name to the Pacific Northwest CFC to better describe the region served.
2007: The Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC sets a new campaign record with over $1.57 million raised for a nearly 5% increase. Our campaign's percent participation also increases in 2007.
2006: The Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC agreed to serve Baker, Union and Wallowa counties in eastern Oregon. The federal employees in these counties had previously not been part of any CFC region.
2005: The Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC welcomed federal employees from Clatsop and Tillamook counties in Oregon to the region.
2004: Umatilla and Morrow Counties in eastern Oregon approached the Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC about a merger. Management costs to run the smaller campaign had become too prohibitive.
2003: The Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC agreed to welcome four counties in central Oregon that previously had not been served: Gilliam, Jefferson, Sherman and Wheeler. The 2003 campaign raised over $1.5 million for the first time in its history. It was done at a remarkable 6.0% overhead rate, down from 6.7% in '02 and among the lowest in the country for a campaign of its size.
2002: The campaign raised over $1.475 million, a record at the time for the region and a 5.1% increase in total dollars.
2001: The Columbia River Area and Willamette Valley CFCs merged to form a 17 county region. That year the new Columbia River/Willamette Valley CFC raised a record $1.4 million, a 6% increase over the previous year, with a 32.5% participation rate. Donations rose 20% and participation jumped 30% in the Willamette Valley alone.
