Welcome to the 34th annual VtSHARES campaign season!

This is the time of year when we all invest in our fellow Vermonters by donating to charitable organizations designed to help those in need. Every year Vermont State employees demonstrate remarkable generosity of spirit through their donations to VtSHARES. Our goal this year is to exceed the amount contributed last year.  We all need to take great pride in the fact that through our combined efforts, $7,733,667 has to gone to local, national and international organization to help those in need. Those combined efforts are also helping improve the quality of life for so many by supporting a wide variety of very worthy charitable services. Certainly our efforts have far exceeded any expectations imagined possible when VtSHARES was established in 1977 as the State Employees’ Combined Charitable Appeal (SECCA).

The economy and environment has continued to be hard on our State, and supporting those in need has always been a trademark of State Employees. We are looking forward to a successful year!
 
In 2010, a significant number of employees chose to use the VtSHARES Campaign as their preferred way of making voluntary donations to charities of their choice – most of them local organizations. The total amount contributed in 2010 was $283,067.60!  Thank you to all who contributed to make the 2010 Campaign such a success!

Each gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference!
