Why give through SECC?

It’s Your Campaign

• This campaign exists FOR YOU and all state employees. Providing an opportunity to support charities and causes you care about.
• There are 822 charities eligible for contributions through the SECC this year.

It’s Easy

• The SECC makes it EASY to give with confidence because the eligible charities are reviewed annually by the State Advisory Committee.

It’s Convenient

• You can search charities by keyword online and read more about their programs at the NC SECC website.
• Pledge now and pay next year– Payroll deductions makes it easier to afford a more generous gift, allowing you to make smaller payments from each paycheck.

Quality & Choice

• Charities serving NC must apply annually to ensure they meet stringent requirements before they are deemed eligible for donations.
• SECC regulations require that less than 25% of a charity’s overall revenue can be applied to fundraising and administrative costs.

Efficiency

• NO STATE MONIES are used to administer the campaign.
• No more than 10% of the prior year’s campaign total may be used to support the campaign expenses.
• Charities devote minimal resources to apply for eligibility.
• Designated charities receive one check quarterly for multiple donations.
• Charities that receive SECC donations may devote their SECC funds to areas where they are needed most. That’s a value-add for the donor AND the charity.
