Join the tradition of giving. Become a contributor to the County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO) during its fall campaign that kicks off this month.
Donating to CECO has a huge impact on the communities that we work and live in. As the charitable arm of the County that is employee-managed and volunteered-based, CECO has distributed more than $7 million to local nonprofit programs and County employees experiencing a financial crisis since forming in 1956.
Just this year, $128,271 in grants were awarded to 86 nonprofit programs. Charitable organizations receiving grants included Alzheimer’s San Diego, Blind Community Center of San Diego, Coastal Roots Farm, Crisis House, Developmental Services Continuum, MANA de San Diego, NAMI San Diego, Solutions for Change and Union of Pan Asian Communities.
