SECA

State Employee Combined Appeal

The State Employee Combines Appeal (SECA) is the commonwealth's annual combined charitable giving campaign for employees. Employees have the opportunity to donate to any of 100's of participating non-profit agencies. The valuable services these agencies provide range from conserving our natural resources to providing assistance to the elderly, finding a cure for cancer, or providing shelter for a needy family — in Pennsylvania, across the nation or around the world.

The annual campaign, which runs from September through October, gives employees the opportunity to donate by signing up for a payroll deduction, or contributing via credit card, check, cash or money order.

Managment Directive 530.23 established SECA as the only charitable campaign allowed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in its statewide offices.
