1993, the Texas state legislature 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.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:20.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Charities eligible under the SECC range from health and human services, to environmental programs, to human rights, to educational programs for children, to support programs for the
elderly. There are local, state, and even national organizations. Many of these organizations assist families and individuals with needs due to unforeseen hardships such as those caused by hurricane Harvey. 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.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:20.4pt"><span style="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 especially in the aftermath
of storm Harvey. 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. <u>Last year UH faculty and staff contributed $87,840</u>. We encourage you to please give serious consideration to making a contribution. All gifts and pledges are totally
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">voluntary</span></em>.</span></p>
