2024 CECO Fall Campaign: Harvest Hope, Spread Giving

/

As we head into the holiday season of giving, consider joining your coworkers in giving to the community. 

The County Employees' Charitable Organization (CECO) launched its annual fundraising season and membership drive through December. CECO has been the charitable arm of the County of San Diego since 1956 and strives to lend a hand to the community by way of grants to local nonprofit programs and assistance to employees and retirees in need.  

CECO is run by our very own County employees and 100% of money donated benefits local nonprofit agencies and employees or retirees in crisis. 

Donating to CECO makes a big difference to our local community. Earlier this year, the organization distributed $101,507 in grants to 58 local nonprofit programs and the Employee Crisis Fund at its annual awards ceremony at the County Operations Center. Several local nonprofits, including health clinics, homeless service providers, after school programs and more, received grants. See the full list. 

Since its founding in 1956, CECO has distributed more than $7 million throughout the San Diego region. 

Making a big difference has never been so easy. Here are three ways to give and help CECO reach its goal of $10,000:
