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 19 YEARS … exceeded $9.485 million for charitable organizations in 2012.

how does it work? Each fall, we get the opportunity to learn about the charities in the SECC, choose which ones we want to help, and then fill out a pledge form to indicate It’s not hard to see why how much we wish to donate to which groups. We can make a one-time gift by employees of the Friendship cash or check. Or, even better, our gift can be deducted from each paycheck beginning at the first of next year. State have responded so enthusiastically to the SECC: The campaign runs from September through October. During this time period, you can expect to attend an informational meeting or be approached by a co- •• It’s an easy, effective worker with information and a pledge form.

•• Our contributions help improve the quality of life what charities are involved? One of the great benefits of the SECC is the wide variety of charities and for people in communities causes represented — there’s something for everyone. They range from small locally, across the country local organizations to large and well-known national and international groups. and around the world. Those charities that wish to participate must meet stringent legal requirements, and then be scrutinized by teams of state employees to ensure: •• The campaign supports • They are recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and a wide variety of vital registered with the Secretary of State. health and human services. • They are audited (or reviewed) annually by an accountant in accordance with generally-accepted auditing standards. • • All charities in the • They provide direct or indirect health and human services. campaign must meet • They spend no more than 25 percent of funds raised on administration strict eligibility criteria. and fund raising unless they qualify for an exception due to special circumstances. s 3 who governs and runs the SECC? Committees of state employees govern the SECC at two levels — statewide and why locally. They ensure the campaign is conducted fairly and equitably under a strict should I give? set of guidelines that give donors confidence in both the charities that benefit and the methods used to solicit. •• To help those who are less At the state level, a committee of state employees called the State Policy Committee fortunate through no fault of (SPC) provides governance and oversight.

The SPC appoints the LEC chair, which then recruits a local committee of up to 10 members. They hire a local campaign manager to administer the campaign locally. •• It will make you feel great. •• It’s tax deductible. how are funds distributed? 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. with a low how much should I give? How much to give is totally up to you; your personal generosity is no one’s business overhead but your own and remains confidential.
