County Employees Give $110K in Grants

The County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO) distributed $110,252 in grants to 68 local nonprofit programs and the Employee Crisis Fund at its annual awards breakfast at the County Operations Center Friday.

Several local not-for-profits, including the Blind Community Center of San Diego, Elder Help of San Diego and Girl Scouts San Diego, received grants. See the full list.

Formed in 1956, CECO distributes 100% of the funds it raises back to the community and has given more than $7 million back to San Diego County.

Help CECO provide greater support to local nonprofits and County employees and retirees in need. Make a one-time or reoccurring donation or encourage another person to support CECO.

There’s three easy ways to give: donate through PayPal, set up a reoccurring donation or through automatic payroll deductions.
