1993, Texas state legislation created the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC), a statewide annual effort that allows employees of universities and other state agencies to give to many of their favorite charities through a workplace giving campaign which
features the option of payroll deduction. University of Houston employees have an outstanding tradition of participation in this annual campaign. From the start of the SECC, our UH community has contributed over $1.3 million dollars that directly benefited
local and national organizations and charities.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="line-height:20.4pt"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Charities eligible under the SECC campaign range from health and human services, environmental programs, human rights, and educational programs for children, to support
programs for the elderly. There are neighborhood, local, state, and even national organizations. Many of these organizations have or will be assisting families and individuals who are experiencing hardship or deprivation. Each approved charity meets specific
legal and operational standards that have been reviewed by teams of state employees so you can be confident that your contribution will be distributed to the organization and for the purpose that you select.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="line-height:20.4pt"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">We know the Houston economy is better than that of most other areas; however, individual circumstances vary making it difficult for many of you to give. The recipients
of services made possible by the campus SECC contributions appreciate the sacrifices and generosity of those who give. The UH family has always stepped forward to make our community better because we are part of the larger community.
<span class="underline1">Last year UH faculty and staff contributed $81,283</span>. We encourage you to please give serious consideration to making a contribution.
