The California State Employees Charitable Campaign (CSECC) was established in 1957 to provide a single charitable fundraising drive in the State community. This is the 53rd year of CSECC providing California State employees the opportunity to utilize payroll deduction to support charitable organizations they feel passionate about. The California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board provides oversight of the CSECC and the enabling regulations for the campaign are found in the California Administrative Code.

Although the CSECC is commonly referred to as if it were a single entity, it actually encompasses 31 regional campaigns throughout the state. This past year these campaigns solicited more than 280,000 California State employees through the CSECC. Thanks to the generosity of California State employees, thousands of nonprofits are currently being supported by more than $7.8 million pledged this past year. 

During the fall, each state employee is given a payroll deduction pledge form and access to the Donor Resource Guide listing the participating nonprofits. The California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board screens these nonprofits to ensure their eligibility but does not endorse them in any way. State employees may also choose to donate to any 501(c) (3) nonprofit, even if it is not listed in the Donor Resource Guide.  State employees also have the option to designate to United Way’s Community Impact Fund were 100% of their contribution stays in San Luis Obispo County.

With the convenient option of payroll deductions, donations can be spread throughout the year. For as little as $2 a month, worthy charities are provided with a consistent cash flow to assist them in the planning and implementation of their much needed services. Now, more than ever, they need our help.

Please join other State employees in contributing to this year’s California State Employees Charitable Campaign. There simply is no better way to provide assistance to countless individuals and causes. An investment in the CSECC is truly an investment in ourselves, our families, friends and the communities in which we live.
