Season of Giving Starts with Supporting CECO

The season of giving is upon us! Consider donating to the County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO) to support local nonprofits and employees in crisis.

Your generosity can have a big impact. Through County employee and retirees’ donations, CECO has distributed more than $7 million to local nonprofit organizations and employees in crisis since its founding in 1956.

CECO stands apart from other charitable organizations because it is run by County employees and 100% of money donated benefits the people and organizations in our area.

Consider joining your co-workers in supporting CECO this giving season in one or more of the following ways.

Spread the Word

CECO is accepting applications for its 2023 Community Grants through Friday, Nov. 4 so please encourage your favorite local charitable organizations to apply.

In 2022, CECO distributed $120,130 amongst 82 local non-profit programs, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County, Coastal Roots Farm, and Voices for Children. Grant instructions and applications can be found at sdceco.org.
