what is <strong>the</strong> SECC?<br />
thanks to legislation that created <strong>the</strong> state employee Charitable Campaign in 1993, employees of<br />
state agencies, junior and community colleges, and universities throughout <strong>texas</strong> enjoy <strong>the</strong> benefit of<br />
giving to many of <strong>the</strong>ir favorite charities through an annual workplace giving <strong>campaign</strong> which<br />
features <strong>the</strong> convenience of payroll deduction.<br />
It’s not hard to see why<br />
employees of <strong>the</strong> Friendship<br />
state have responded so<br />
enthusiastically to <strong>the</strong> seCC:<br />
• It’s an easy, effective<br />
and cost-efficient way<br />
to give to charities.<br />
• Our contributions help<br />
improve <strong>the</strong> quality of life<br />
<strong>for</strong> people in communities<br />
locally, across <strong>the</strong> country<br />
and around <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
• <strong>the</strong> <strong>campaign</strong> supports<br />
a wide variety of vital<br />
health and human services.<br />
• all charities in <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>campaign</strong> must meet<br />
strict eligibility criteria.<br />
WE CAN BE PROUD THAT THE CAMPAIGN<br />
HAS GROWN SO MUCH IN 18 YEARS …<br />
donations exceeded $9.345 million<br />
<strong>for</strong> charitable organizations in 2011.<br />
how does it work?<br />
Each fall, we get <strong>the</strong> opportunity to learn about <strong>the</strong> charities in <strong>the</strong> SECC,<br />
choose which ones we want to help, and <strong>the</strong>n fill out a pledge <strong>for</strong>m to indicate<br />
how much we wish to donate to which groups. We can make a one-time gift by<br />
cash or check. Or, even better, our gift can be deducted from each paycheck<br />
beginning at <strong>the</strong> first of next year.<br />
The <strong>campaign</strong> runs from September through October. During this time period,<br />
you can expect to attend an in<strong>for</strong>mational meeting or be approached by a coworker<br />
with in<strong>for</strong>mation and a pledge <strong>for</strong>m. The directory you’re now holding<br />
provides in<strong>for</strong>mation on all <strong>the</strong> charities in <strong>the</strong> <strong>campaign</strong> — a great resource<br />
not only <strong>for</strong> helping you make your choices, but also <strong>for</strong> finding help if you<br />
need it yourself.<br />
what charities are involved?<br />
One of <strong>the</strong> great benefits of <strong>the</strong> SECC is <strong>the</strong> wide variety of charities and<br />
causes represented — <strong>the</strong>re’s something <strong>for</strong> everyone. They range from small<br />
local organizations to large and well-known national and international groups.<br />
Those charities that wish to participate must meet stringent legal requirements,<br />
and <strong>the</strong>n be scrutinized by teams of state employees to ensure:<br />
• They are recognized by <strong>the</strong> IRS as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and<br />
registered with <strong>the</strong> Secretary of State.<br />
• They are audited (or reviewed) annually by an accountant in accordance<br />
with generally-accepted auditing standards.<br />
• They provide direct or indirect health and human services.<br />
• They spend no more than 25 percent of funds raised on administration<br />
and fund raising unless <strong>the</strong>y qualify <strong>for</strong> an exception due to special<br />
circumstances.
s 3<br />
who governs and runs <strong>the</strong> seCC?<br />
Committees of state employees govern <strong>the</strong> SECC at two levels — statewide and<br />
locally. They ensure <strong>the</strong> <strong>campaign</strong> is conducted fairly and equitably under a strict<br />
set of guidelines that give donors confidence in both <strong>the</strong> charities that benefit and<br />
<strong>the</strong> methods used to solicit.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> state level, a committee of state employees called <strong>the</strong> State Policy Committee<br />
(SPC) provides governance and oversight. Four members are appointed by <strong>the</strong><br />
Governor and three each by <strong>the</strong> Lieutenant Governor and <strong>the</strong> Comptroller of Public<br />
Accounts. They are responsible <strong>for</strong> a <strong>campaign</strong> plan, a budget and ensuring <strong>the</strong><br />
eligibility of statewide organizations. The SPC also hires a State Campaign Manager<br />
to administer <strong>the</strong> <strong>campaign</strong>.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> local level, Local Employee Committees (LECs) provide similar oversight.<br />
The SPC appoints <strong>the</strong> LEC chair, which <strong>the</strong>n recruits a local committee of up to 10<br />
members. They hire a local <strong>campaign</strong> manager to administer <strong>the</strong> <strong>campaign</strong> locally.<br />
how are funds distributed?<br />
Contributions made by state agency employees are distributed by <strong>the</strong> State<br />
Comptroller to participating federations, who <strong>the</strong>n send <strong>the</strong> funds along to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
members. Each university distributes funds to federations through its own payroll<br />
system. At <strong>the</strong> local level, <strong>the</strong> Local Campaign Managers distribute <strong>the</strong> funds <strong>the</strong><br />
same way.<br />
But because it is almost impossible to account <strong>for</strong> donations lost through such<br />
things as an employee leaving or transferring, a percentage method is used to<br />
distribute funds. At <strong>the</strong> end of each year’s <strong>campaign</strong>, <strong>the</strong> percent of funds pledged<br />
to each charity is calculated. Each charity <strong>the</strong>n receives that percentage of what<br />
is eventually collected. Undesignated pledges are shared with all participating<br />
charities using <strong>the</strong> same percentage.<br />
Each charity also pays its share of <strong>the</strong> cost of running <strong>the</strong> <strong>campaign</strong> (printed<br />
materials, etc.) based on <strong>the</strong> same percentage.<br />
how much should I give?<br />
How much to give is totally up to you; your personal generosity is no one’s business<br />
but your own and remains confidential. Still, many of us like to have some idea<br />
of what is appropriate to consider as a gift.<br />
First … you might consider participating as a leadership giver — one of<br />
<strong>the</strong> many people who like to do a little more by donating at <strong>the</strong> leadership<br />
giving levels described later.<br />
Second … you might consider one of <strong>the</strong> standards used in <strong>campaign</strong>s<br />
like this throughout <strong>the</strong> nation — giving one hour’s pay per month, usually<br />
calculated as .006 of your annual salary.<br />
Third … give what you feel is appropriate <strong>for</strong> you and your budget — any<br />
gift, no matter how large or small, can make all <strong>the</strong> difference in <strong>the</strong> world<br />
to <strong>the</strong> charities in this <strong>campaign</strong>.<br />
why<br />
should I give?<br />
• to help those who are less<br />
<strong>for</strong>tunate through no fault of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own.<br />
• to support a favorite cause or<br />
charity on a regular basis.<br />
• It’s <strong>the</strong> right thing to do.<br />
• It will make you feel great.<br />
• It’s tax deductible.<br />
with a low<br />
overhead<br />
of less than<br />
10% statewide<br />
more of your contribution<br />
gets to <strong>the</strong> charities<br />
you select than in<br />
almost any similar<br />
fund-raising activity.

benefits<br />
of payroll deduction<br />
Pay roll deduction of fers<br />
a special opportunity to do<br />
more and feel it less.<br />
• It helps to minimize<br />
costs while maximizing<br />
your contribution.<br />
• You can manage your<br />
own philanthropy — you<br />
know when deductions<br />
start and that you can<br />
end <strong>the</strong>m at any time.<br />
• It saves time and takes<br />
little ef<strong>for</strong>t.<br />
best of all …<br />
by donating a specific amount<br />
from each paycheck, you can make<br />
a much more significant impact on<br />
causes you wish to help.<br />
