How to Make a Pledge Online

• Check to see if your charity has a 501(c)3 ruling and search to see if it already has an SECC Charity Code.
• Click on Donate Now. SECC e-Pledge will guide you through the entire process from start to finish. SECC e-Pledge is fast. It’s easy. It’s secure.

The SECC e-Pledge Log in Screen:

• Enter your SECC e-Pledge User ID. It is the first letter of your first name plus the last 6-digits of your PeopleSoft number. (SECC e-Pledge is not in any way connected to the PeopleSoft system.)
• Enter your Password. It is the first letter of your first name, plus the first two letters of your last name (skip special characters like an apostrophe) plus your 4-digit birth year.
  Click the Log in button and you will arrive at the SECC e-Pledge home page.

SECC e-Pledge Home Page:

From the home page you can make a pledge and check your giving history.

• Account History:
  • When you click on "Account History" you will be able to review your prior years’ contributions.
  • Follow the directions on the Account History screen to renew or change your previous pledge.
  • The campaign years in the report are listed as 2011/2012 because the pledge is made in 2011 and paid out in 2012.
  • If you want to see the charities you designated to, click on the icon to the right of the total pledge amount in the year you want to review.
• Making A Pledge:
  • Click on “Pledge Now” and indicate whether you want to make a contribution by payroll deduction, credit card or not at all.
  • If you want to contribute by cash or check you must complete a SECC paper pledge form. Attach the cash or check to the pledge form and give it to you coordinator.
  • If you do not wish to contribute to the 2011/2012 SECC, click the radio-button for “I do not wish to make a pledge this year” so that your coordinator knows that you have made a decision.
  • Click "Next" after making a giving method decision and click "Next" again on the information screens that follow.
• Choosing The Charities To Which You Want To Contribute:
  • You must now choose the charities you want to contribute to.
  • You may search for a charity’s SECC code number by entering a word or two that is part of the charity’s name. Click "Search" and you will see all charities with that word in the name.
  • We do not recommend clicking "View All" since there are approximately 2,000 charities with codes in the SECC database and it takes a long time to scroll through them.
  • After you click "Search", on the next screen, select the charities to which you wish to give and enter the amount. After entering a pledge amount, click "Add".
  • You may need to scroll down to see all the choices.
  • Enter the amount per pay if you are giving by payroll deduction or the total amount if giving by credit card.
  • After clicking "Add", you will be returned to the Search screen. You may choose to contribute to as many charities as you wish by repeating the process.
  • If you want to write-in the name and address of your charity, you may scroll down and click the " Write In".
  • The Write In screen will allow you to type in the amount you want to contribute to the charity, as well as the charity’s name and address.
  • Click "Add" after you have entered the information.
  • When you are finished choosing your charities, click "Next" at the bottom of the Search screen.
• Finishing your pledge:
  • On the next screen, if you would like the SECC e-Pledge system to e-mail you a confirmation, check the confirmation box. Enter your e-mail address in the space provided. We strongly recommend you request a confirmation.
  • We also suggest that you check the box to receive an acknowledgement so that we may release your address to the charities you donated to. Click " Next".
  • On the Review and Confirm screen, carefully review your pledge decisions.
  • If you want to make a change to your pledge or the charities you chose, click "Previous". Do not use your browser’s Back button.
  • If your information is correct, click "Confirm". Your pledge will be recorded.
  • If you click "Cancel", you will return to the home page and no pledge will be recorded.
  • On the “For your records” screen, you can print a copy of your pledge and then log off.
  • We strongly recommend that you print a copy of your pledge and put it in a safe place; it will serve as your written receipt for tax purposes.
  • That’s it. You’re done making a pledge. Don’t forget to log off and close your browser window.
