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 21 YEARS … donations exceeded $9.031 million for charitable organizations in 2014. It’s not hard to see why employees of the Friendship State have responded so enthusiastically to the SECC: •• It’s an easy, effective and cost-efficient way to give to charities. •• Our contributions help improve the quality of life for people in communities locally, across the country and around the world. •• The campaign supports a wide variety of vital health and human services. •• All charities in the campaign must meet strict eligibility criteria. 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 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 beginning at the first of next year. The campaign runs from September through October. During this time period, you can expect to attend an informational meeting or be approached by a coworker with information and a pledge form. The directory you’re now holding provides information on all the charities in the campaign — a great resource not only for helping you make your choices, but also for finding help if you need it yourself. what charities are involved? One of the great benefits of the SECC is the wide variety of charities and causes represented — there’s something for everyone. They range from small local organizations to large and well-known national and international groups. Those charities that wish to participate must meet stringent legal requirements, and then be scrutinized by teams of state employees to ensure: • They are recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and registered with the Secretary of State. • They are audited (or reviewed) annually by an accountant in accordance with generally-accepted auditing standards. • They provide direct or indirect health and human services. • They spend no more than 25 percent of funds raised on administration. s 3 who governs and runs the SECC? Committees of state employees govern the SECC at two levels — statewide and locally. They ensure the campaign is conducted fairly and equitably under a strict set of guidelines that give donors confidence in both the charities that benefit and the methods used to solicit. At the state level, a committee of state employees called the State Policy Committee (SPC) provides governance and oversight. Three members are appointed by the Governor and three each by the Lieutenant Governor and the Comptroller of Public Accounts. They are responsible for a campaign plan, a budget and ensuring the eligibility of statewide organizations. The SPC also hires a State Campaign Manager to administer the campaign. At the local level, Local Employee Committees (LECs) provide similar 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. how are funds distributed? why should I give? •• To help those who are less fortunate through no fault of their own. •• To support a favorite cause or charity on a regular basis. •• It’s the right thing to do. •• It will make you feel great. •• It’s tax deductible. 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? How much to give is totally up to you; your personal generosity is no one’s business but your own and remains confidential. Still, many of us like to have some idea of what is appropriate to consider as a gift. First … you might consider participating as a leadership giver — one of the many people who like to do a little more by donating at the leadership giving levels described later. Second … you might consider one of the standards used in campaigns like this throughout the nation — giving one hour’s pay per month, usually calculated as .006 of your annual salary. Third … give what you feel is appropriate for you and your budget — any gift, no matter how large or small, can make all the difference in the world to the charities in this campaign. with a low overhead of less than 10% statewide more of your contribution gets to the charities you select than in almost any similar fundraising activity. s 4 benefits what will my gift provide?

Leadership giving provides such an opportunity for those wishing to maximize the impact of their charitable gift through the State Employee Charitable Campaign in 2015. An SECC leadership gift will provide far-reaching opportunities for your favorite charitable organizations, enabling them to address a wider range of health and human service issues due to your increased generosity. If you choose to give $1,000 or more, please indicate the appropriate giving level on your pledge form and complete the acknowledgement section; if you choose to be acknowledged, your name will be provided to the recipient charities and listed in next year’s directory. Acknowledged givers will also receive a token of appreciation for their gift. $83.34 per month (only $2.74 per day) … a leadership gift of $1,000 can provide: Four days of child care in an accredited facility … and 32 meals for the elderly … and 104 days of parenting classes, teaching effective discipline and conflict management … and 48 students receiving assistance in math and sciences … and 48 days of a support group for teens having experienced violence or sexual abuse … and 20 days of food and shelter for a homeless person … and 28 days of mentoring for at-risk youth … and 40 acres of land for wildlife habitat or public open space that provides both recreation and cleaner air … and 50 children receiving bicycle helmets and cycling instruction to prevent accidents and encourage environmentally-friendly methods of transportation … and crisis intervention services to 65 at-risk women and children in violent family situations … and art, music or dance therapy for two people with disabilities for an entire semester! supp o r t yo ur state employee charitable campaign s 6 2014 SECC leadership givers (as reported at time of printing, of those agreeing to be recognized) Lone Star Circle … $10,000 or more Capi t al A r e a ...............................
