SEFA

We aim to make a difference. SEFA is a charitable solicitation of New York State employees, through which employees can contribute to any of the charitable organizations approved for participation.

These organizations are comprised of those with 501(c) non-profit status who have applied to join this campaign. To comply with NYS Regulation 9NYCRR Part 335, charities must gain approval to participate and must undergo recertification every three years to confirm they still meet all requirements for participation.

SEFA is the most efficient way to give. Your contribution helps fund a multitude of programs and services. With SEFA, you don’t have to write multiple checks to multiple organizations throughout the year. You don’t have to remember when to give or to whom.

• SEFA raises money for service providers at a far lower cost than if providers did this themselves.
• SEFA offers the advantage of payroll deduction, which enables people to support charities more generously than they could in a one-time effort.
• SEFA offers the best way to help not only your favorite service provider, but your entire community.

Completing your electronic pledge is your authorization for your gift to continue until you change or discontinue your pledge. You can change or discontinue your pledge at any time by either completing a paper pledge form & turning it into your Payroll Department or going to your online pledge and selecting “discontinue my pledge” or modify your deduction.
