The State Employees Charitable Campaign provides State of Texas employees with the most efficient and consistent pathway possible for charitable giving, payroll deduction. Employees can contribute to nearly 1,000 charities which support the communities in which they live, work, volunteer and raise their families.

Thanks to the generosity of state employees, the 2021 Capital Area campaign raised $1.18 million.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) Capital Area Local Employee Committee is accepting applications from charities interested in serving throughout 2023 as Local Campaign Manager for the Capital Area SECC. 

Note: This application is different than the one that will be posted for any charity wanting to participate as a potential beneficiary of state, higher education, or retired employee donations. A charity serving as a SECC Local Campaign Manager, helps manage the day-to-day operations of the campaign throughout the year.
