The Connecticut State Employees' Campaign for Charitable Giving (CSEC) is the once a year opportunity for Connecticut State Employees to contribute to non-profit charities at the workplace. Through the CSEC you can make a single gift to help people locally, throughout the nation, and around the world. The contributions made by you and your fellow employees make possible a wide range of vital services - shelter for the homeless, protection of the environment, research for cures of diseases, care for both children and seniors - to name only a fraction of the services provided by the more than 900 charities listed on this web site.

Keep this Directory!
This directory is designed to act as a reference for you, if you need to locate a service, are looking for volunteer opportunities or need a question answered. The hundreds of listings in this directory include health, social action, human service, educational service, arts and environmental organizations.

CSEC Administration
The operation of the CSEC is overseen by a group of State Employees who are appointed to serve on the State Employees' Campaign Committee.  Community Health Charities of New England has been selected by the campaign committee to act as the Principal Combined Fundraising Organization, PCFO, (pursuant to PA 93-182) for this charitable drive. Functions of the PCFO include: development of communication materials, coordination of training programs, management of local community campaigns, reporting/distributing of campaign proceeds and supporting the effort of hundreds of volunteers throughout the state who make this drive possible.

Campaign Dates
Although the campaign runs from September 8 - December 4, late pledges are always accepted.

Designations
You have the option of designating all or a portion of your contribution to one or more charitable agencies listed in this directory. If you do not wish to designate your gift it will be distributed to each federation based on their overall percentage of designated gifts. All gifts will be forwarded as specified by you after a deduction for administrative costs. In the event the agency you designate to is not a part of the CSEC, or if your designation is incomplete or illegible, we will make every reasonable effort to contact you. If we are unable to reach you, your gift will be distributed among participating federations.  Each charitable organization listed in this directory has gone through a rigorous screening process by the CSEC committee. Since the campaign is governed by State Regulations 5-262, only those charities that meet the requirements specified in the regulations, and are approved by the campaign committee, are eligible to receive contributions made through the CSEC. The CSEC is unable to accept donations designated to other charities not listed in this directory.

Pledges
The campaign has two methods for which a pledge can be made. The easiest method is payroll deduction of which $1 per pay period is the minimum contribution. The second option is a one-time gift in the form of cash or a check. Unfortunately, a one-time payroll deduction pledge is not possible through this campaign.

About the Entries in this Directory
