SECA allows all state employees to donate to local, state, national, and international charities that have been vetted through the state. SECA Illinois supports nearly 2,000 charities. One hundred percent of contributions are sent directly to the designated charities.

President Larry Dietz noted the SECA campaign provides the campus a platform for joint giving. “This year’s SECA theme ‘Your Campaign—Your Choice’ encourages donations to reflect each person’s specific passions,” he said. “Each donation, no matter the size, reflects the Redbird spirit of giving and civic engagement.”

Charities may be found using the Charity Search Engine and donations may be made online at the SECA Illinois website. Participants must register on the site to make a donation. Employees can also donate through payroll deduction, or write checks directly to the charities and send them through campus mail to Campus Box 3090. A link to the complete list of SECA charities as well as the donation forms can be found on the Redbirds Care SECA website. The campaign runs through November 8.
