Home School Foundation: Combined Federal Campaign Donations You may not know that the Home School Foundation is a qualified charity for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC No. 10535).

The number of homeschool families applying to us for help grows every year, and it is only through donations from compassionate homeschooling families that we are able to help them.
