Retirees

As a retiree, you are an important part of the State of Michigan family, and your generosity can continue to make a difference. By giving through the SECC, you join fellow retirees in supporting causes that matter to you and strengthening communities near and far.

Here are just a few reasons for giving through the SECC:

Trusted and Convenient – The SECC is the only state-authorized charitable campaign, ensuring that all participating nonprofits are carefully vetted for accountability and impact. Retirees can give with confidence knowing their donations go to reputable organizations.
Broad Choice of Charities – With nearly 800 approved charities, retirees can support the causes closest to their hearts—whether that’s health, education, the environment, veterans, hunger relief, or international aid.
Proven Impact – Since 1987, active and retired State of Michigan employees have raised nearly $55 million to strengthen communities locally, nationally, and globally. Retiree donations continue that legacy of generosity.
Flexible Giving Options – Retirees can give by credit card, debit card, or check, making it simple to participate.
Collective Strength – By giving through the SECC, retirees join a powerful tradition of public service and community impact alongside current and former colleagues.
Stronger Communities – Donations directly improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities, helping those most in need at a time when support is more critical than ever.

Donating through the SECC allows Michigan retirees to continue their legacy of service, ensure their dollars make a real difference, and remain connected to a tradition of giving that has strengthened communities for more than 30 years.
