Combined Federal Campaign lowers sights for 2012 - Baltimore Sun: October 13, 2012|By Matthew Hay Brown, The Baltimore Sun
WASHINGTON — — With the economic recovery still sluggish, a donor pool laboring under a long-term pay freeze and uncertainty about looming budget cuts, organizers of the Combined Federal Campaign in the National Capital Area have reduced their fundraising goal for the 2012 giving season.
After falling short of their goal of $68 million from Washington and the surrounding area each of the last two years, organizers of the annual charity drive are aiming this year for $62.5 million. It's the first time since the financial crisis of 2008 at least — and, possibly, ever — that they have lowered their sights.
