State Employee Charitable Campaign
Whether you give $2 or $1000, we hope you will participate!
You can choose from nearly 400 participating statewide, national, or international charities or a charity in your local area. The organizations are listed online in SSO when you make your contribution (see How Do I Give? below) or you can search the SECC charity database here (examples of search terms include 'International,' 'Brazos Valley,' 'DFW,' 'Cancer,' or 'Children'). All participating organizations must meet strict eligibility standards established by state law, and they are screened by the SECC State Policy Committee. You can feel confident that your gift is being used efficiently and effectively by your designated charity or charities. Learn more here about what your gift will provide.
All employees are encouraged to give to the charitable organizations of their choice. However, you may wish to know that the charities at the link below are affiliated with the Health Science Center and are SECC eligible organizations:
