Designating Your Gift
Every charity has a designation code that must be provided on your pledge form. Space is provided to designate gifts to four charities on your pledge form. If you want to designate to more than four charities, please complete a blank pledge form to list the additional designations. Please fill in the following sections on the blank form: Name, Department, Employee Identification Number, Department Code, Bureau Code, Employee Contribution Information, and Agency Designations that could not be listed on your preprinted form.
You can contribute to SECA without assigning your contribution to a particular agency. If you want your contribution to be distributed proportionately to the eight umbrella organizations/funds, leave the Agency Designation portion of the form blank.
