Texas A&M-San Antonio SECC
What is SECC?
The Texas State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) was created through legislation in 1993 to raise funds for charitable organizations throughout the state, the nation, and the world. The campaign runs annually from September 1 through October 31.

Why Should I Give to SECC?
There are lots of reasons to give to the SECC! Lots of these charities help our students, so you'd be supporting the A&M-San Antonio community. It helps you support your favorite cause or charity on a regular basis. It strengthens A&M-San Antonio as a strong community partner. Additionally, it makes you feel great, and it's tax deductible.
You may already be involved with one of these charities or may be in the future, so SECC is a great option!
If you want to give directly to back to students, please consider donating to the Texas A&M San Antonio Foundation using the 6-digit code 413030.
The A&M-San Antonio Foundation gives back to help students in need with the Emergency Student Fund and General's Food Pantry.
