2009 SEFA Campaign Offers New Options

By the time your agency kicks-off your SEFA campaign this year you will be able to download information directly from our website, about your favorite charities such as their mission, the cost to run their program, and how much of your donation provides actual services. You will also be able to access information on how much of your donation is used to run your local SEFA program, giving you a clear idea about the advantage of using payroll deduction to support your charities. The SEFA Council is moving into the second year of a three-year effort to verify the eligibility of all charities currently participating in our annual campaigns. This process, called recertification, applies the same eligibility tests to participating charities as those tests used to admit a new charity into SEFA. Consequently, you may see that a few charities are missing from the 2009 campaign directories. These charities did not pass our review. However, a charity so impacted may reapply to SEFA once those issues resulting in dismissal are successfully addressed. If one of your favorite charities is no longer participating in SEFA, please encourage them to reapply for admission. Again, thank you for your support.
