Why should I give to the Charitable Campaign?

The SECC is your campaign operated by state employees for charitable giving. You are a member of a very special group of people who energize a great campaign each year!

10. You Have Choices - You can choose where you want to allocate your money - whether it be environmental protection, medical research, health care, hunger, homelessness, education, special programs for children, or the elderly - the list goes on and on. This Information & Code Directory offers an opportunity to select the charity that satisfies your interests.

9. Convenient One-Stop Shopping - With the assistance of this Information & Code Directory and online pledging, your generosity to your favorite charity(ies) can be as easy as accessing MI HR Self-Service. Just follow the instructions to make your choices. Pledging has never been easier!

8. Payroll Deduction - Payroll deduction is an easy “time-released” formula. Most state employees choose payroll deduction as the preferred payment method. Making equal payments over a period of time makes charitable giving easier for you.

7. Give With Confidence - Be assured that all participating organizations have met the highest standards of both program and fiscal accountability. All organizations listed in this SECC Information & Code Directory have a proven, documented track record.

6. $2 Per Pay Period - Provides first aid instruction to 48 people! Just think, one less can of soda a week and nearly 50 people are being educated.

5. $10 Per Pay Period - Can send two foster children to summer camp. Now isn’t that worth giving up a car wash once a week?

4. $20 Per Pay Period - Can support four families with help in preventing child abuse. Passing on one trip to the movie theatre and a box of popcorn can secure a child’s safe upbringing.

3. $30 Per Pay Period - Buys water monitoring equipment for local school children to participate in an environmental program to make water safer for citizens and animals that inhabit the area.

2. $40 Per Pay Period - Funds group activities for visually-impaired seniors for one year. Sacrificing two lunches a week can bring enjoyment to a group of individuals with special needs.
