The Kentucky Employees Charitable Campaign (KECC) is a partnership of Kentucky state employees and six accredited state-wide charities, who together work to make a significant difference in the lives of our families, friends and neighbors throughout the Commonwealth.
KECC partner charities represent more than a thousand charitable programs and agencies addressing health and human services needs in Kentucky.
Since 1993, the KECC has provided the opportunity for state employees to contribute to eligible charitable organizations through the state’s payroll deduction process. This is YOUR campaign, created and run by state employees, and in 2011, you raised more than $1,135,000 to help build a better Kentucky! Thanks for your hard work and generosity!
