Celebrate 40! Invest in the Future.

Dear Fellow State and Public Employees,

As both a born and raised New Jerseyan and a proud public servant, I am honored to serve as the Chair for the New Jersey Employees Charitable Campaign (NJECC) in its milestone 40th year. For four decades, the NJECC has been a trusted and impactful way for state and public employees to give back, raising more than $53 million to support local, national, and international communities in need.

Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible generosity and compassion of our workforce. Time and again, you have stepped up – not only to serve the people of New Jersey in your daily work, but to go above and beyond during times of crisis. Whether it was standing together in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, supporting neighbors through the COVID-19 pandemic, or responding to countless other moments of hardship, state employees have shown what it truly means to serve with heart.

The NJECC makes it easy for all of us to channel that generosity. This year, you will once again have the opportunity to choose from a wide array of nonprofit organizations, spanning causes such as disaster relief, healthcare, education, animal welfare, environmental protection, and much more. The 2025 campaign will run from September through December. Throughout this period, the NJECC will highlight different causes each week accompanied by a list of organizations that support each cause. Every organization has been vetted, recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit by the IRS, and registered with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, meaning you can feel confident your contributions will directly support trusted organizations.

The NJECC makes giving flexible and convenient. You can make a one-time gift or take advantage of payroll deductions spread throughout the year. Even small, steady contributions add up to extraordinary impact; just $2 per pay period can give a cancer patient access to support sessions and vital resources, while $5 per pay period can help provide critical medical supplies to underserved communities around the world.

As we celebrate 40 years of NJECC, I invite you to be part of this legacy of giving. Please join me in committing at least $2 per pay cycle to make a meaningful impact, not only for our neighbors here in New Jersey, but for communities across the nation and globe who need our support. Together, we can ensure this year’s campaign is one of the strongest yet.

Thank you for your continued generosity, compassion, and dedication to public service.

Sincerely,

Tim Sullivan
CEO, New Jersey Economic Development Authority
