JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Office of Administration today announced that this year’s Missouri State Employee Charitable Campaign (MSECC) exceeded donations of $1 million for the 12th consecutive year. The 31st year of the campaign achieved more total donations than any year since 2009, and state employees donated more than $1,089,249.00 to 885 Missouri charities. This brings the 31-year total for the campaign to over $28 million.
“The kindness and generosity shown year after year by Missouri state employees and their families, and the impact the annual charitable campaign has on organizations across the state is truly touching,” Office of Administration Commissioner Doug Nelson said. “To exceed the $1 million mark every year for more than a decade is a true testament to the generosity of state employees and will unquestionably make an impact on those in need across Missouri.”
The MSECC is an annual fundraising effort organized by the Office of Administration that provides state employees and retirees with the opportunity to make donations to their favorite charitable organizations through the convenience of payroll deduction or one-time gifts. The State of Missouri has a history of philanthropy and a spirit of service. Since the inception of the annual campaign, state employees have donated more than $28 million to charities statewide. Donations have exceeded $1 million in 15 of the 31 years.
