Facts About Last Year’s SECC
- The 2008-09 State Employees’ Community Campaign (SECC) raised more than $1,200,000 that benefited 1,550 charitable organizations. That amount represents a 5.3% increase over the prior year.
- More than one-fifth of state employees participated in the SECC. The per capita contribution was more than $32.00, the second highest it has been in the history of the Campaign.
- The success of the 2008-09 SECC was assured by the 1,292 men and women who made a Champion-level contribution (a half-hour's pay per check). They contributed $718,514, nearly half of the total raised through the 2008-09 SECC.
- Recognition is given to those state agencies where 20% or more of its donors make a contribution at the Champion-level of giving. This year, the number of state agencies being recognized with the Champion Award continued to grow, with more than one-third of state agencies being recognized with that award.
- Leadership Giving: In the SECC just completed, the number of state employees making a Torchbearer Society-level contribution ($1,000 or more) grew again. In the 2008-09 SECC, 192 state employees were members of the Torchbearer Society, contributing more than $313,029, nearly one-fourth of the total raised.
