During the 2019 active campaign period, we will highlight a cause of the week. These causes have been selected to represent the wide variety of taxonomy codes available through the CFC and often coincide with national and international recognition months or days. The Cause of the Week Toolkit provides resources to help agencies fully implement the the cause of the week concept.
