What is the SECC?
The State Employee Charitable Campaign is the only statutorily-authorized workplace campaign for state
agency and higher education employees in Texas. Thanks to legislation that created the SECC in 1993,
employees of state agencies, junior and community colleges, universities, and retirees throughout Texas
enjoy the benefit of giving to many of their favorite charities through an annual workplace giving campaign
which features the convenience of payroll deduction.
State of Texas employees have contributed
$195.59 MILLION
through the SECC since its inception in 1993,
providing aid to their family, friends, neighbors,
and countless others in need across our state.
It’s not hard to understand

how are funds distributed?
Contributions made by state agency employees are distributed by the State Comptroller to participating federations, who then
send the funds along to their members. Each university distributes funds to federations through its own payroll system. At the
local level, the Local Campaign Managers distribute the funds the same way.
But because it is almost impossible to account for donations lost through such things as an employee leaving or transferring, a
percentage method is used to distribute funds. At the end of each year’s campaign, the percent of funds pledged to each charity
is calculated. Each charity then receives that percentage of what is eventually collected. Undesignated pledges are shared with
all participating charities using the same percentage.
Each charity also pays its share of the cost of running the campaign (printed materials, etc.) based on the same percentage.
