Last updated: September 23, 2022
David Heinen, Vice President for Public Policy and Advocacy
The Center recently learned that some nonprofits have been deemed ineligible for the State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) because they don’t meet an “efficiency ratio” in the state regulation governing the SECC.

Nonprofit service providers are total rock stars when it comes to helping people overcome obstacles – and there’s a sense of accomplishment that comes from helping our clients turn the seemingly impossible into the possible. For many, it’s one of the greatest rewards of our work.
Empowering Voters Is Nonprofit Mission Work
There's no more fitting way to lift up our nonprofits’ missions than to empower our communities during the elections process. As It’s On Us: The Nonprofit Voter Empowerment Project so clearly puts it: Nonpartisan voter engagement is one of the sector’s most effective ways to ensure that our voices, and those of the communities we serve, are “at the table” when critical policies are being decided.
