Thanks to legislation that created the State Employee Charitable Campaign in 1993, employees of state agencies, junior and community colleges, and universities throughout Texas enjoy the benefit of giving to many of their favorite charities through an annual workplace giving campaign which features the convenience of payroll deduction.
WE CAN BE PROUD THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAS GROWN SO MUCH IN 22 YEARS … donations exceeded $8.485 million for charitable organizations in 2015.
does it work? It’s not hard to see why how Each fall, we get the opportunity to learn about the charities in the SECC, employees of the Friendship choose which ones we want to help, and then fi ll out a pledge form to indicate State have responded so how much we wish to donate to which groups. We can make a one-time gift by cash or check. Or, even better, our gift can be deducted from each paycheck enthusiastically to the SECC: beginning at the fi rst of next year.

Contributions made by state agency employees are distributed by the State Comptroller to participating federations, who then send the funds along to their members. Each university distributes funds to federations through its own payroll system. At the local level, the Local Campaign Managers distribute the funds the same way.
But because it is almost impossible to account for donations lost through such things as an employee leaving or transferring, a percentage method is used to distribute funds. At the end of each year’s campaign, the percent of funds pledged to each charity is calculated. Each charity then receives that percentage of what is eventually collected. Undesignated pledges are shared with all participating charities using the same percentage.
Each charity also pays its share of the cost of running the campaign (printed materials, etc.) based on the same percentage. how much should I give? with a low How much to give is totally up to you; your personal generosity is no one’s business but your own and remains confi dential.
