How does it work? • Each department/agency has an appointed Campaign Coordinator(s), who is responsible for: • Participating in a coordinator training • Securing campaign materials and support from PCFO • Preparing and sending communications as required to support the annual campaign at his/her location • Arranging for a presentation to employees • Turning in pledge forms to the PCFO • Maintaining confidentiality of pledge information • Completing the campaign evaluation form for their agency

How are funds distributed? • Contributions collected and distributed - quarterly schedule • Disbursements begin once all fees (fundraising and administrative costs) to the PCFO are paid • A % method is used to distribute the funds: • Due to uncollectibles (change in contributions or job status) • End of the campaign the % of funds pledged to each charity is calculated • Each charity will then receive the % of what is eventually collected quarterly from the PCFO • Undesignated funds (special events/fundraising revenue) calculated in the same manner
Why give to the SCCC? • This campaign is just for you and all state employees • Opportunity to support charities that you care about • Make a difference locally and throughout the state • Have confidence in giving, because the eligible charitable organizations are reviewed annually • Make a tax deductible contribution and designate your contribution to up to four charities of your choice • Afford a more generous gift over time with contributions being deducted per pay period
