“Answer the Call”
Often, even a small group of people committed to a common cause can accomplish great things. Just imagine what thousands of commonwealth employees can accomplish by committing to this year’s State Employee Combined Appeal theme of “Answer the Call.”
Since 1977, state employees have raised more than $150 million through SECA. This year, SECA aims to increase that amount by $2.5 million. With approximately 1,000 charities to choose from, there’s sure to be one meaningful to you. Pledges can be made via Employee Self Service or paper pledge form, through easy payroll deductions or one-time donations.
To contribute, just visit the Employee Self Service Portal (preferred method) or use a paper pledge form to designate your amount. Take your donation a step further by dedicating it to someone special.
Employees who give just an hour or half-hour of pay per month are recognized as Governor’s Circle and Gold Givers. ESS will calculate your minimum leadership giving amount, and you can also read more about leadership giving.
The 2026 SECA campaign ends on October 25. General information about SECA and information on participating agencies and methods to pledge can be found at the SECA website and through the following links:
