What is COMECC?

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Employees Charitable Campaign, established in 1984, is governed by Executive Order 451.
COMECC, the only authorized payroll deduction workplace solicitation, is conducted under the authority of the Secretary of Administration & Finance.
COMECC is voluntary and it affords state employees the opportunity to support private, non-profit health and human services and environmental
organizations. Each year, the Secretary selects a Statewide Campaign Manager for overall management of the campaign and a Local Campaign Manager
to conduct and manage COMECC in each of the regions.

Why COMECC?

COMECC is the one opportunity state employees have to share in the spirit of giving, in order to assist those who might be experiencing hardship or
temporary crisis in their lives. Your one-time contribution or gift through payroll deduction can make a significant difference in the lives of children,
families, and communities across the state, the country and the world.

Are COMECC donations tax deductible?

Yes. Every charity that participates in COMECC must be an approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

What is the easiest way to give?

Giving through payroll deduction is easy and convenient. You are provided with a paper pledge form where you can select payroll deduction for 26 weeks,
one time deduction, or one time check. You can also give online through www.COMECC.net, either payroll deduction for 26 weeks, one time payroll
deduction or by one time credit card. You can also print out a pledge form from www.COMECC.net. You determine the amount you would like to
contribute, as well as which agency(ies) or federation(s) will receive your contribution, and we do the rest.

Can I write a check?

Yes. See the Direct Payment section on the pledge card. Please make check payable to COMECC.

How do I pledge at www.COMECC.net?

Pledging online at www.COMECC.net is secure, quick and simple. You can either look for a charity and then enter the e-pledge site, or go to the log-in
page directly by clicking on those headings located on the left side panel. Most state employee information has been pre-entered, so you will be identified
when logging in with your employee number. If your name is not pre-entered or you are a new employee, there is a screen that allows you to put in your
work information so you can proceed. You choose the method of giving, and then can browse the charities and pick the one or ones you wish to support
through COMECC.

How do I give by credit card or one time payroll deduction donation?

Giving by credit card can be done online at www.COMECC.net. Employees can log-in and follow the prompts to select payment options for credit card
giving (Mastercard or Visa) and for choosing a recipient charity or charities. If you wish to give through one time payroll deduction, employees can also do
that online or via their paper pledge card by checking One Time in the Easy Payroll Deduction section.

Can I change or cancel my pledge amount?

Yes. Simply notify your agency’s payroll office and the change to the amount will be made. This can be done at any time.

How is my gift distributed?

You, the employee, determine who will receive your gift. When you give to COMECC, you have the choice of designating all or part of your gift to one or
more agencies listed in this brochure.

How much of my gift is used towards fund raising and administrative costs?

Through the outstanding oversight efforts of COMECC, less than 10% of the funds raised are used for fund raising and administrative costs. Because this
cost is so low compared with other fund-raising campaigns, every dollar you pledge goes a very long way toward helping others.

What happens to my gift if I do not designate it to a specific agency?

The undesignated dollars are distributed to all of the organizations participating in COMECC in the same proportion that they received designations is the
campaign.

What information is provided in this brochure?

Included in this listing of all approved charities are each charity’s phone number, short description of services, Administrative and Fundraising Rate (the
percentage of charity’s expenses spent on management and fundraising in connection of their income), COMECC six digit code and federation affiliation, if
any. However, what you won’t see this year is the regions served and charity website. These can be found on our website www.COMECC.net. Charities are
required to have an appropriate AFR rate and in the spirit of that, COMECC constantly strives to reduce waste and redundancy.

Can I be acknowledged for my gift from the charity I designate?

Yes. A request for acknowledgement of your gift by the agency(ies) or federation(s) you designated can be made by simply completing the Release
Authorization section on the pledge card with your name, address and signature. If contributing online at www.COMECC.net, you also will be able to
indicate whether or not you wish to be acknowledged. The Local Campaign Manager will forward your request to the agency(ies) or federation(s)
responsible for responding.

What if the charity I wish to give to is not listed?

Email us at [email protected] and let us know the organization and their contact information. We will email them when the application for next
year’s campaign becomes available to download from our website, www.COMECC.net.
