Organizations in the Campaign
What charities/organizations are involved?
One of the great benefits of the SECC is the wide variety of charities and causes represented - there's something for everyone. They range from small local organizations to large and well-known national and international groups.
Those charities that wish to participate must meet stringent legal requirements, and then be reviewed in great detail by teams of state employees to ensure:
* They are recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and registered with the Secretary of State.* They are audited (or reviewed) annually by an accountant in accordance with generally-accepted auditing standards.* They provide direct or indirect health and human services.
* They spend no more than 25 percent of funds raised on administration and fund raising unless they qualify for an exception due to special circumstances.
