State Employee Combined Appeal (SECA)

It is that time of year again, the SECA 2025 Campaign will begin on September 1, 2025. 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 (SECA) theme of “Go the Distance.”

Since SECA began in the 1970’s, employees have raised more than $100 million. Many of your colleagues give each year because SECA allows them to easily donate to the causes most important to them.

This year, the state system is striving to meet our goal of $55,043.20. Employees can elect a recurring or one-time deduction from your pay.

To contribute, just visit the Employee Self Service Portal. 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 here.

The 2025 SECA campaign ends October 25th. I hope you’ll join in supporting the campaign.
