These standards were established, by legislation, to protect Texas state employees. The State Policy Committee, a group of state employees who oversee the administration of the SECC, sets campaign policy, determines eligibility for applicant charities and monitors the campaign activities. Payroll deduction is convenient. It allows you the ability to have your gift deducted in small amounts from your paycheck each payperiod. Through payroll deduction, you can afford to be more generous because it spreads your contribution out over a year's time.
Payroll deduction provides nonprofit charities with a steady income over the year.
This is critical in planning and implementing successful programs and in providing assistance when and where needed. If your state agency does not currently have payroll deduction, you are welcome to make a tax-deductible contribution to the charity of your choice with cash, check or bank draft made payable to the State Employee Charitable Campaign. When you give through the SECC, you make the decision as to where and who you want to help. All you need to do is write the 6-digit charity code for the charitable organizations you wish to designate in the boxes provided on the pledge form. All eligible charitable organizations and their codes are listed in this brochure.
