About Us

Each fall, Vermont State employees are invited to invest in fellow Vermonters by pledging to nonprofit organizations designed to help those in need through VtSHARES as established by Executive Order No. 3-63 (No. 04-14). Employees demonstrate the remarkable generosity of spirit through their contributions to VtSHARES.

Since this employee giving platform began, the generosity of State employees has been amazing. Many thanks to all for their support and to those who generously contributed to support local Vermont communities in need!

We can take pride in the fact that our dollars are helping people, animals and the environment within the 14 counties in Vermont. 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 have 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 another successful year!
 
Thank each and every one of you for your efforts, contributions and generosity in making the VtSHARES a huge success!
