Facts About Last Year’s SECC

The 2009-2010 State Employees’ Community Campaign (SECC) raised more than $1.2 million that benefited 2,000 charitable organizations. That amount represents a slight increase over the prior year.
More than one-fifth of state employees participated in the SECC. The per capita contribution was more than $37.00, the second highest it has been in the history of the Campaign.
The success of the 2009-2010 SECC was assured by the 1,345 men and women who made a Champion-level contribution (a half-hour's pay per check). They contributed $759,797, more than half of the total raised through the 2009-2010 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 2009-2010 SECC, 201 state employees were members of the Torchbearer Society, contributing more than $340,111, more than 25% of the total raised.
